INGREDIENTS:
- 1/2 oz yeast
- 2 tsp sugar
- 7 tsp ground ginger
- 7 tsp sugar
- 1 1/2 lb sugar
- Juice of 2 lemons
- Mix starter ingredients with ¾ pint of warm water in a glass jar. Stir, cover and leave in a warm place for 24 hours. This is your starter "plant".
- Feed the "plant" with 1 teaspoon each of ground ginger and sugar each day.
- After 7 days strain through a fine sieve. Dissolve the sugar in 2 pints of water. Add the lemon juice and the liquid from the "plant". Dilute with 5 pints of water, mix well and store in corked bottles for at least 7 days.
- Use strong bottles as pressure may build up which will cause thin bottles to explode. For the same reason use corked bottles rather than those with a more secure closure that will not 'give' under pressure.
