Ingredients
- 100 grams fresh ginger root
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large lemon
- 1 liter water
- 1 liter sparkling water
- 5 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional)
- 1 cup ice cubes
Directions
Step 1
Peel the fresh ginger root and grate it finely using a box grater or microplane.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix the grated ginger with granulated sugar and stir until well combined. Let it sit for 5 minutes to release the ginger's juices.
Step 3
Using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth, strain the ginger-sugar mixture into a large pitcher, pressing down to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the ginger pulp.
Step 4
Juice the lemon and add the fresh juice to the pitcher. Stir to combine.
Step 5
Add 1 liter of water to dilute the ginger and lemon mixture, stirring thoroughly.
Step 6
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or serve immediately for a more intense fresh ginger flavor.
Step 7
Before serving, add sparkling water to the ginger mixture for that fizzy finish and stir gently.
Step 8
Fill each glass with ice cubes, pour the ginger beer over the ice, and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Easy Peasy Ginger Beer!
