A quick version that's our favourite....
In a 1.5 litre fizzy bottle, place 1 cup sugar, 1 tsp ground ginger and the juice of a lemon. Half fill the bottle with water, place the lid on and shake well until the sugar is dissolved. Fill to the top with water. Add 6 sultanas or raisins, place the lid on and leave in a warm areatill the bottle feels tight with the pressure. Chill well and it's ready.. So easy - and you can make a few bottles at a time..
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.
Sounds great, I would like to try this, but is it 1/2 tsp or tbsp cream of tartar?
