Yields1 Serving

I don't know how to make beer, perhaps someone could send me a recipe using just 4 ingredients. But here is a great recipe for good old fashion ginger beer.

Culture

1 cup water

1 tsp compressed (fresh) yeast

2 tsp Changing Habits Rapadura Sugar

1 tsp Changing Habits Ginger Powder

Ginger Beer

1 kg Changing Habits Rapadura Sugar

6 cups of boiling filtered water

1 tsp cream of tartar

3 litres cold filtered water

2 lemons

Method

For the Culture:

Use a small glass jar and mix together the yeast and water.

Add sugar and ginger, stir well.

24 hours later add another 2 tsps of sugar and 1 tsp of ginger.

Repeat this step for the next 5 days, stirring well after each addition.

Making the Ginger Beer

Mix sugar, boiling water and cream of tatar together, stirring until sugar dissolves. Allow to cool.

Add the cold water.

Juice the lemons, strain the juice and add to syrup.

Strain ginger culture through a fine muslin cloth and add the liquid to the syrup.

Bottle, seal and leave for 7 days

Note: Make sure you store ginger beer outside the house, bottles have been known to explode on occasion. Always open ginger beer away from your face.
