Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Fresh ginger root
- 2000 milliliters Water
- 100 grams Granulated erythritol
- 60 milliliters Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Dry active yeast
Instructions
Begin by peeling the fresh ginger root and grating it finely.
In a large saucepan, combine the grated ginger, water, and granulated erythritol.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to ensure the erythritol is fully dissolved.
Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the ginger water cool to room temperature.
Strain the mixture using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the ginger solids, reserving the liquid.
Transfer the ginger liquid into a clean large bowl or jug and add the lemon juice.
Dissolve the dry active yeast in a small amount of warm water, then add it to the ginger liquid and stir well.
Pour the mixture into clean plastic bottles, leaving some space at the top to allow for carbonation.
Seal the bottles and let them sit at room temperature for 12-48 hours to carbonate. The longer it sits, the more carbonated it will become.
Once carbonated to your liking, refrigerate the ginger beer to halt further fermentation.
Serve chilled over ice, and enjoy your homemade keto ginger beer!
