How to Make Marcus Ginger Beer

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 8 cups of water, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup grated fresh ginger, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1 teaspoon whole cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon cardamom pods.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  5. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully develop and the ginger beer to chill thoroughly.
  7. Before serving, taste and adjust sweetness if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy!
