How to Make Ginger Beer Ii Africa
- Combine 1 cup of fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped, with 8 cups of boiling water in a large, heat-proof container (enameled, glass, or stainless steel).
- Loosely cover the container with a clean cloth and let it steep in a warm place for 1 hour.
- Strain the ginger mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, pressing firmly on the pulp to extract maximum flavor.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the strained ginger liquid, 1/2 cup of fresh lime juice (or other fruit juice of your choice), 1 cinnamon stick, 1/2 teaspoon of whole cloves, and 8 cups of cold water.
- Let the mixture sit for another hour, ideally in direct sunlight to help the starch settle.
- Gently pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, leaving any sediment at the bottom.
- Repeat straining if necessary to achieve a clear liquid.
- Stir in 1 cup of granulated sugar (or to taste) and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of whole cloves.
- Transfer the ginger beer to a clean glass jar or bottle and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled over ice. Dilute with equal parts sparkling water or plain water if desired.
