Zubereitung von Homemade Ginger Ale
- Sterilize a 2-liter soda bottle. Fit a funnel into the opening.
- Add 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon (4g) active dry yeast to the bottle. Gently swirl to combine.
- In a separate bowl or measuring cup, combine 1 cup (240ml) citrus juice (lemon, lime, or a mix) and 1/2 cup (50g) finely grated fresh ginger. Stir well.
- Pour the citrus-ginger mixture through the funnel into the soda bottle.
- Add enough clean, filtered water to the measuring cup to rinse out any remaining ginger pulp. Pour this into the bottle through the funnel.
- Remove the funnel and tightly screw on the cap.
- Shake the bottle vigorously for 30 seconds to mix thoroughly.
- Carefully remove the cap and top off the bottle with filtered water, leaving about an inch of headspace. Replace the cap tightly. Invert the bottle several times to dissolve the sugar.
- Using your thumb, gently press on the side of the bottle to check for pressure buildup. Place the bottle in a warm place (70-75°F) for 24-48 hours, or until the bottle feels firm to the touch. Do not leave out longer than 48 hours to avoid bottle bursting.
- Once the bottle is firm, refrigerate immediately. Chill completely, preferably overnight.
- Slowly open the bottle (it may fizz vigorously). Pour over ice.
- For a smoother drink, strain the ginger ale through a fine-mesh sieve before serving.
- Rinse the bottle thoroughly with hot, soapy water immediately after use to prepare for your next batch.
