   Boil Water

   In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.

   Once the water is boiling, add the chopped ginger to the pot. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.

4. 4

   Strain Mixture

   After simmering, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl to remove the ginger pieces.

   Cool the Mixture

   Activate Yeast

   Let it Ferment

   Seal the bottle with a lid and let it sit at room temperature for about 48 hours to ferment. Check periodically for carbonation.
