1
Prepare the Ginger
Peel and grate the ginger root. This will release its natural oils and juices.
2
Make the Ginger Syrup
In a saucepan, combine the grated ginger, sugar, and 250 ml of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Once dissolved, bring to a simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
3
Strain the Syrup
Strain the ginger syrup through a fine sieve or cheesecloth into a bowl to remove the solids. Add the remaining 250 ml of water, citric acid, lime juice, and lemon zest to the syrup and mix well.

4
Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in a few tablespoons of warm water (not hot). Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
5
Combine Ingredients for Fermentation
Add the activated yeast to the ginger syrup mixture and stir well. Pour the mixture into a clean, sterilized bottle, leaving some space at the top.
6
Seal and Ferment
Seal the bottle tightly and place it in a warm, dark place for 24-48 hours. Check periodically for carbonation. Once it’s fizzy, transfer it to the fridge to slow down fermentation.

7
Serve Chilled
Once the ginger beer is chilled, pour it into glasses over ice. Garnish with mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness.
