Infuse the Ginger: Start by boiling half a liter of water. Once boiling, add the grated ginger and let the mixture simmer on low heat for 5 minutes. This process extracts the ginger’s essence and flavors. After simmering, set aside to cool for 20 minutes, then strain to remove the ginger solids, retaining the infused water.
Create the Syrup: In a separate vessel, dissolve your choice of sugar or honey in the ginger-infused water. This step creates a sweet syrup that forms the base of your ginger beer.
Mix it Up: For the assembly, combine a half glass of the ginger infusion with two glasses of the syrup you’ve just created. To this, add a half glass of mineral water. The mineral water introduces additional minerals that can enhance the taste.
Add a Twist: Elevate the concoction with a few drops of lemon juice, adjusting according to your preference for a balance of sweetness and acidity.
Chill: Transfer the mixture to the refrigerator and let it chill thoroughly. The cold temperature not only enhances the ginger beer’s refreshment factor but also allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Serve with Style: Pour the chilled ginger beer into glasses and garnish with a slice of lemon on the rim for a touch of elegance and a hint of extra flavor.
Enjoy Your Creation:
