Rock is on a blogging roll! Here he is again…
I really like a good ginger beer but they are hard to come by in this part of the world. We bought a bunch of old British cooking magazines awhile ago and we found this easy recipe.
2 limes / 120 grams of fresh ginger / 6 tablespoons of granulated sugar / cold carbonated or sparkling water
Bring 100 ml of water to boil in a small saucepan with the sugar and the zest and the juice of the two limes.
In the meantime, thinly slice the ginger. Add it to the boiling water and let simmer for 6 minutes.
Remove from the heat and pour the syrup through a strainer or sieve to strain out the ginger and the lime zest. Let the remaining syrup cool down fully.
To make the ginger beer, simply add some of the syrup to carbonated water to your taste. I would suggest about 1 to 2 tablespoons for one glass of ginger beer but it is up to you how strong you want the flavour to be. You can make a large batch if you’d like or if you want you can keep the ginger syrup in the fridge. Now we just need to find some rum…
