I used to make ginger beer with a bug. Someone told me today he made lemonade with a bug a few years back. Has anyone done this? Anyone got one? A recipe? :)

sorry, I can't help you puppetman but I wonder if it can be done in the same or a similar way to how ginger beer is made with the 'bug' except, obviously, without using any ginger. It will be interesting to see if anyone is able to offer you some real help - good luck - please keep us updated. :-))

Sorry cannot find the recipe. I had a nice, ginger-ale one as well. It may come to me as to where they are stashed.

here is recipe we found in an old recipe book , which we tried making 3-4 weeks ago
peel lemons thinly and add with the juice to the 4 Gallons of water and bring to the boil .Take of heat and add cream of tartar leave to stand for two days the bottle into clean sterralised softdrink bottles with screw caps then put in a cool dark place for a week . we found the longer you leave it the better it tastes we had a bottle last nite could hardy notice the fermentation taste like after the first week. and its really fizzy kids love it
