Title: Ginger Beer #3
Categories: Beverages
Yield: 1 Batch

1	oz	Fresh ginger root, chopped coarsely
1		Lemon, thinly sliced
2	c	Sugar
1	g	Water
1/8	ts	Yeast

Simmer ginger and lemon for 30 minutes, add sugar and stir to dissolve. Cool to lukewarm. Stir in yeast, cover pot and let stand for 1 hour. Bottle and seal.

Note: The directions do not say this, but I would strain the stuff before adding the yeast. Also, I'd store it for a few days at room temperature, then transfer to a cooool place, lest you have glass grenades.
