non alcoholic ginger beer recipe
Homemade ginger beer recipes?
Does anyone have any quick and easy homemade ginger beer recipes? I live in the south of France and I can’t get it out here so I’ve been trawling the net for ways to make it as quickly and cheaply as possible.
I’ve made a few bottles so far using a recipe I found on the net and it’s okay but little yeasty tasting, I think I may be rushing the process (it calls for up to 72 hours brewing/chilling to kill the yeast time and I’ve been getting the finished product in about 20 hours as it’s quite warm here at the mo).
Some recipes I’ve come across say to brew it for up to six weeks, others for three days, I’m making the non alcoholic (or as little alcohol as possible) version so letting it sit for weeks on end isn’t an option.
hi there!
Homemade ginger beer is concentrated, dry, and non carbonated, making it ideal for mixing directly into cocktails.
The ginger beer’s appearance will be cloudy; this is natural.
ingredients:
* 1 quart water
* 4 oz fresh ginger, unpeeled and finely grated
* 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
* 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
preparation:
Finely grate ginger. In a pot, bring water to a boil, and shut off heat. Add grated ginger and lime juice. Cover and let stand for one hour.
Add the light brown sugar and stir well to dissolve. Strain the liquid through a fine strainer. Let cool. Important: When you are straining the ginger through the strainer, take a spoon or ladle and firmly press down on the ginger to extract its flavor. The strongest part of the ginger essence is still hiding in there, and needs to be pressed out.
Pour the cool liquid through a funnel into a covered bottle or storage container. Shake well before using.
Ginger beer can be stored for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. Try to use when fresh, as the strength of the ginger fades each day, and the ginger beer eventually starts to ferment.
Shake well before using.
