How to Make Liberian Pineapple Ginger Beer

  1. Combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. In a large bowl or pitcher, combine the cooled sugar syrup, pineapple juice, lemon juice, ginger juice, and yeast. Stir well to combine.
  3. Add 1 cup of water to the mixture. Stir, cover loosely with a cloth or lid, and let it ferment at room temperature for 24-48 hours or until bubbly and slightly fizzy. (Fermentation time may vary depending on the temperature).
  4. Once fermented, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle or container. Discard the solids.
  5. Tightly seal the container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill. The longer it chills, the more the carbonation develops.
  6. Serve chilled over ice. Garnish with a pineapple wedge and a few thin slices of fresh ginger (optional).
