Ginger Beer

GINGER BEER PLANT:
6 sultanas, juice of 1 lemon, 2 teaspoons sugar, 1 tsp ground ginger, ½ tsp lemon pulp,
150ml (¼pint) cold water.

GINGER BEER:
250g (8oz) sugar, 300ml (½pint) boiling water, 1. 5 litres (2½ pints) cold water.

Put all the ingredients in a screw topped jar and leave for 3 days. On each of the next 4 days add 1 teaspoon sugar and ½ tsp ground ginger. On the following day, strain and add
the juice of 1 lemon to the liquid. Dissolve the sugar in the boiling water, then add the cold water. Pour onto the strained ginger beer plant. Mix and pour into sterilized screw-topped bottles or jars. It will be ready to drink after about 3 weeks.
Makes about 1. 6 litres (2 3/4 pints)
NOTE: If a continuous supply is wanted, double the ingredients for the plant and also double the daily feed. After straining, retain half the sediment, add 150 ml (¼ pint) cold water and continue to feed as above.
