Seems only fair that with all the wine making and beer brewing (more on that soon) going on around here that we would also make a soda....
Sidenote: We never have soda around, nor do we drink it except in rare circumstances... non soda bubbly drinks are appreciated.
When I suggested we make Ginger Ale.... well the squeals of joy were loud. That is, until we tasted the ginger ale then all of our squeals were loud. Delicious-ness!
Ginger Ale
Equipment needed: empty 2 liter bottle, big pot and that is it.
- 2 Cups Sugar
- 2 Liter Water
- 1 lemon cut into wedges
- 1/2 cup-1 cup diced Fresh ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon champagne yeast (ale yeast ok but I prefer the taste of the ginger ale made with champagne yeast)
In a large pot bring water to boil.... add ginger, sugar and lemon. Boil for 25 minutes. Cool.....Your home will smell amazing at this point.
When it is 70-76 F add yeast.
Strain into 2 Liter bottle. Add water to top off if necessary. Cap. Place in a plastic bag. Wait two days then refrigerate. Drink when cool......
