Jamaican Ginger Beer

Very Simple Jamaican Ginger Beer

This is more like a cordial than a ginger beer and will be fairly strong as there is no addition of lemon as there generally is in ginger beer.

I do not think this drink would be for the feint of heart !

INGREDIENTS :

  • 1 lb (500g) ginger
  • 8 tablespoons of brown sugar
  • 5 pints (approx 3 litres) water

METHOD:

  1. Puree ginger and water in blender. This will take a bit of work as ginger is one tough customer !
  2. Let the pureed mix sit for a day.
  3. Add sugar according to your taste.

Personally I would add a great deal more sugar than the recipe calls for.

Serve with crushed ice. 6-8 servings.
