1
Prepare the Ginger Base
In a blender, combine the fresh ginger and 2 cups of water. Blend until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding the pulp.
2
Dissolve the Sugar
In a large pot, combine the ginger juice, the remaining 2 cups of water, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
3
Add Yeast and Lemon Juice
Once the ginger mixture is cool, add the lemon juice and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Stir gently to combine.
4
Ferment the Mixture
Cover the pot with a clean cloth and let it sit at room temperature for 24 to 48 hours, depending on the desired level of fermentation. You will know it’s ready when it becomes slightly fizzy and has a tangy aroma.
5
Bottle the Ginger Beer
After fermentation, strain the mixture again into clean bottles, leaving about an inch of space at the top. Seal the bottles tightly.
6
Carbonate with Club Soda
When ready to serve, pour the ginger beer into a glass and top with club soda for added fizz. Serve over ice and enjoy!
