3 gallons water
12-16 ounces of fresh ginger root
Juice from 3-4 lemons
3 cups granulated cane sugar (or 2 cups white and 1 cup brown)
Bring water to a boil, add shredded ginger, lemon juice and sugar. Boil high for 25 minutes. Strain and squeeze out mash for extra ginger pulp then cool...
I make a non alcoholic variety which is just ginger, sugar, lemon and water. I force carbonate or I partially ferment just to get a nice flavor then I force carbonate. Don't know how folks feel about force carbonation around these parts but it does what it does.
I make 3 gallons at a time...
