REFRESHING NON-ALCOHOLIC GINGER BEER
In the summer this is a good non-alcoholic thirst quencher for young and old. It may stir a few memories for those of us who grew up in New Zealand with home-brewed ginger beer in the garden shed and got their kicks out of the excitement and danger of opening a bottle left a little too long...how times have changed! It will get fizzier with age, so take care opening it.
