Title: Ginger Beer No. 1
Categories: Beverages
Yield: 1 Servings
| 1/4 | lb | Root ginger |
| 10 | Bottles | |
| 1 | Green lemon | |
| 4 | lb | (approximate) clear sugar |
| Few grains of barley | ||
| Cold water |
Bruise the ginger but not too much as it makes the drink cloudy. Pour on the water; add the rind and juice of a fresh green lemon. Cover and leave over night. The next day, strain, sweeten and bottle adding a few grains of barley to each bottle. It takes a few days, at least, for the barley to cause the drink to ferment.
