Homemade Ginger Beer

Homemade ginger beer is the key ingredient to Moscow Mules, Mexican Mules, and is straight up refreshingly delicious on its own!

It is very similar to ginger ale, but with a more pronounced  spicy “ginger” flavor, less carbonation, and my version is decidedly less sweet.

INGREDIENTS

– water – light brown sugar, packed – sugar – fresh ginger – kosher salt – lemon juice – active dry yeast

In a large saucepan combine 1 qt water, sugars, ginger, and a pinch of salt.

Use a funnel to pour into a 2 liter bottle or into 2 – 1 liter bottles. Make sure you leave at least 2 inches of room at the top.
