Ginger Beer - Authentic Trinbago Style

Ginger makes a wonderful drink as well as tea. For the Christmas season we usually drink ginger beer. The bast part is since ginger is available all year round you can make this drink any time. It's soothes my nerves.

Ingredients:-

1 lb green ginger
8 cups cold water
1 lime
1 1/2 cups sugar

Methods:-

1.  Wash and remove the skin from the ginger
2. Chops the ginger and then blend in 1/2 cup of water
3. Pour into a large pot the remaining water and leave the ginger mixture to soak for approximately 24hrs
4. When fermented, strain the mixture
5. Add the lime peel to the ginger beer and sweeten to taste
6. When sweeten remove the lime peel
7. Bottle and refrigerator
8. Serve chilled

Now it may be a strong brew, but it totally delicious.
