Yield: 1 servings
2 oz Fresh ginger
2 Lemons
1 ts Cream of tartar
1 lb Sugar
1 ga Boiling water
1 oz Yeast
This home-brew remains a favourite party drink in a Welsh household for
both adults and children. You will need eight pint bottles or four quart
bottles. They should be of a strong material and have firm caps with metal
springs to imprison the effervescent liquid - it's more explosive than
champagne. Makes 1 gallon. Roughly crush the ginger root. Wash and slice
the lemons into thick rings. Put the ginger, lemon, cream of tartar and
sugar in a large bowl. Pour the boiling water over. Stir and leave to cool
to blood temperature. Stir in the yeast. Leave to ferment for 24 hours.
Skim off the yeast. Strain and bottle the liquid. Leave for three days
before broaching it.
