Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams fresh ginger
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 500 milliliters water
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 750 milliliters sparkling water
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 5 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger.
In a small saucepan, combine the grated ginger, granulated sugar, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves to create a ginger syrup. Simmer gently for 5-10 minutes to infuse the flavors.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the ginger syrup to cool to room temperature. Strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer to remove the ginger pulp.
In a large pitcher, combine the cooled ginger syrup, fresh lemon juice, and sparkling water. Stir gently to mix evenly.
Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the ginger beer over the ice, and garnish with mint leaves if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade quick ginger beer!
