Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams fresh ginger root
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large lemon
- 1 liter water
- 1 liter sparkling water
- 5 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional)
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
Peel the fresh ginger root and grate it finely using a box grater or microplane.
In a medium bowl, mix the grated ginger with granulated sugar and stir until well combined. Let it sit for 5 minutes to release the ginger's juices.
Using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth, strain the ginger-sugar mixture into a large pitcher, pressing down to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the ginger pulp.
Juice the lemon and add the fresh juice to the pitcher. Stir to combine.
Add 1 liter of water to dilute the ginger and lemon mixture, stirring thoroughly.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or serve immediately for a more intense fresh ginger flavor.
Before serving, add sparkling water to the ginger mixture for that fizzy finish and stir gently.
Fill each glass with ice cubes, pour the ginger beer over the ice, and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Easy Peasy Ginger Beer!
