Ginger beer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ginger beer is a carbonated soft drink that is flavored primarily with ginger, lemon, and sugar. It is rarely produced as an alcoholic beverage.
It originated in England in the mid-1700s and reached its peak of popularity in the early 1900s.[1] The original recipe requires only ginger, sugar, and water, to which is added a gelatinous substance called “ginger beer plant” (see below). Fermentation over a few days turns the mixture into ginger beer. Lemon may be added. A simple version of this recipe can be made at home today in which the following is bottled in a 2 litre bottle: grated fresh ginger, sugar, a small amount of baker’s yeast, and (optionally) lemon juice. It is sealed at room temperature for a day or two before refrigerating.[2]
