Spicy home made gingerale

I have a new recipe here




Mix 1tsp bakers yeast in warm water with sugar.
Let sit for 10min

Mix:
Washed ginger root.
3/4c sugar.
1/3c lime juice.
1/2l Water

Blend

Strain the blended mix.

boil the mix briefly and allow to cool.

Add yeast to the blended mix and pour into a clean sanitized 1 liter IKEA Grolsch like bottle.

Let sit for 48h.

Open and drink.


This makes a spicy and not very sweet gingerale adjust the recipe to your own tastes. Adjusting the fruit juices can also be interesting. Post your adaptations in the comment section

    Love your Blogs. You give me the impression of a bored scientist locked in his lab! :)

  3. I used one big root from the grocery store. I never really measured them. usually ~4". depends how spicy you like it.

    I have at times posted from a lab while waiting on the centrifuge or a long incubation.

  11. I have done it both with dried bread yeast and with champagne yeast. I think it was a little better with the champagne yeast but not that much different.
