Jamaican Ginger Beer Syrup

Very Simple Jamaican Ginger Beer Syrup

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.

    Sounds deliciously spicy! I too would like to add evil artificial sweetener (I am diabetic) or sugar.

    I think you may be able to make this with Stevia. It is not real ginger beer but more of a syrup. I quite often make a syrup ( not this recipe) and add lemonade or as you would, in your case, soda water. Would certainly give you the taste of ginger beer.
    Personally I think this recipe calls for far TOO much ginger. I have not made this one myself.
