About the Recipe

This drink is an almost miraculous moment, where you literally just take some sugar, and some ginger, mix it in water, let it sit.

Ingredients

ā€˜Ginger Bugā€™ Ingredients (First Day):


  • 2 cups (500ml) filtered water

  • 2 Tbsp (22g) finely chopped or grated ginger (skin on is fine)

  • 2 Tbsp (28g) granulated sugar



Ginger bug feeding (every 24 hours):


  • 2 Tbsp (22g) finely chopped or grated ginger (skin on is fine)

  • 2 Tbsp (28g) granulated sugar



Ginger Beer:


  • 2 quarts filtered water

  • 1 1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp (273g) granulated sugar *see notes*

  • 1/4 cup (54g) ginger, grated

  • 1/2 cup (110g) strained ginger bug liquid

  • *optional* Juice of 3 lemons



*notes on sugar in ginger beer: You're welcome to make the ginger beer much less sweet if you prefer. I would say the lowest you can go on sugar is 1/2 cup (170g).
