Recipe: Ginger Limeade image

Provided by Rachelle Lucas

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 4

5-6 Fresh Limes
1/2 Cup Honey
1/2 lb Ginger Root (About the size of your hand)
8 Cups Water

Steps:

Carefully peel the ginger root using a carrot peeler or sharp knife and then cut the root into smaller pieces. Don't worry about removing all the skin since you'll pass the juice through a strainer.
Add the ginger pieces to a food processor and pulverize to a chunky pulp. Add the ginger to a tea pot.
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil, then pour the water over the ginger in the tea pot as if you were making tea. Let it steep for 10 minutes.
While the ginger is steeping, roll the limes between your palms and the counter top to loosen up the juices. Then cut them in half and juice the limes using a citrus reamer or juicer and pour the lime juice into a pitcher.
After the ginger is finished steeping, pour the ginger tea through a mesh strainer into to pitcher with the lime juice. Next ddd the honey and stir until dissolved.
Add the remaining 4 cups of water, or for a natural ginger ale, add 4 cups of seltzer water instead.

Time P2DT1h18m

Yield about 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 ounces finely grated fresh ginger
6 ounces sugar
7 1/2 cups filtered water
1/8 teaspoon active dry yeast
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

Place the ginger, sugar, and 1/2 cup of the water into a 2-quart saucepan and set over medium-high heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat, cover and allow to steep for 1 hour.
Pour the syrup through a fine mesh strainer set over a bowl, pressing down to get all of the juice out of the mixture. Chill quickly by placing over and ice bath and stirring or set in the refrigerator, uncovered, until at least room temperature, 68 to 72 degrees F.
Using a funnel, pour the syrup into a clean 2-liter plastic bottle and add the yeast, lemon juice and remaining 7 cups of water. Place the cap on the bottle, gently shake to combine and leave the bottle at room temperature for 48 hours. Open and check for desired amount of carbonation. It is important that once you achieve your desired amount of carbonation that you refrigerate the ginger ale. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, opening the bottle at least once a day to let out excess carbonation.
