QUICK YEAST-FREE GINGER BEER
Makes: 1 litre
Ingredients:
150g fresh ginger, peeled
Finely grated rind and juice of 2 lemons
60-75ml (4-5 tbsp) sugar
1 litre sparkling water
Ice and finely sliced fresh ginger (optional), to serve
How to brew it:
- Grate the ginger on the fine side of a grater over a jug to capture both the grated ginger and any juice.
- Add the lemon rind and juice and mix through.
- Stir through the sugar and let the mixture stand for 30 minutes to allow the flavours to infuse.
- Just before serving pour over the sparkling water and stir through. Add ice cubes and finely sliced ginger, if using, and serve in glasses.
