Directions
-
grated 1 c Sugar 2 ts Cloves, whole 4 Cinnamon sticks 1/2 c Lime juice; fresh or lemon -juice 1 c Orange orange 8 c -
-
Cool water "Many variations of homemade ginger beers (soft drinks) are brewed all over subSaharan Africa.
-
Fresh ginger makes a spicy drink, cooling in summer, warming in winter and always refreshing and energizing.
-
Fruit juices other than the citrus called for below, make interesting variations in its flavour.
-
When using other juices, I always add the juice of a couple of lemons or limes.
-
Pour the boiling water over the grated ginger root, sugar, cloves and cinnamon in a large nonreactive pot or bowl (enamel, glass or stainless steel).
-
Cover and set aside in a warm place, in the sun if possible , for at least an hour.
-
Strain the liquid through a fine sieve or cloth.
-
Add the juices and water.
-
Set aside in a warm place for another hour or so.
-
Gently strain the liquid again, taking care not to disturb the sediment at the bottom.
-
Store in the refrigerator in a large nonreactive container.
-
A glass gallon jar or jug works well.
-
Serve warm, chilled or on ice, either as is or diluted with water or sparkling water.
-
A squeeze of fresh lime juice in each glass of ginger drink is "the cat's meow".
