HOMEMADE GINGER BEER
To get the full aromatic flush and fizzy burn of fresh ginger, you have to make your own ginger beer. It is amazingly simple. There's no sterilization needed, and this method is forgiving - you can actually play about with the levels and ingredients. Moreover, the resulting ginger beer blows anything else you've ever had straight out of contention. Take a pinch of packaged yeast and something acidic for the yeast to thrive in (like lemon or lime juice or cream of tartar) along with some sugar syrup and grated ginger, lob it all in a plastic bottle of distilled or spring water, shake it up and stash it somewhere dark and warm for two days. After two days you stop the fermentation by chilling it in the fridge. That's it. The result is a cloudy, dry mixer with pinprick carbonation and a straight-up goose of fresh ginger. That is thrilling come dark 'n' stormy hour, not just for its authenticity and superior flavor but also because you can now brag about your homemade ginger beer.

Steps:
- Take a 1.5-liter plastic bottle of spring water and empty it into a clean pitcher. Use some of it to make simple syrup by stirring 1/2 pound sugar into 1 cup hot water until fully dissolved.
- In a large measuring cup, mix all ingredients and stir well. Funnel back into the plastic bottle and cap tightly. Store in a warm, dark place for 24 to 48 hours. (I put mine inside a box, to contain it if it should blow.) The top of the bottle will expand and become tight. Check it and very slowly release the pressure if it's looking groaningly tight. Some people ferment it with no top, or with the top on loosely, to allow gas to escape. I suppose if you wanted to get fancy you could spend $1.50 on a fermentation lock and stop worrying about it. If the temperature is quite warm, above 80F, a single day may be sufficient. The longer you let it ferment, the drier the final mix will be.
- After 48 hours, refrigerate it to stop the fermentation. Once chilled, you can strain out the pulp and dead yeast, which will have made a sediment on the bottom. Makes 1 liter and will keep up to a week in the refrigerator.

GINGER BEER
Being from the Caribbean, ginger beer is particularly close to my heart. It has to be made right, with fresh ginger, to give it both the flavor and that zing. A lot of folks will ferment theirs by adding some yeast to it. Personally, I prefer the taste of an unfermented ginger beer, so I just top it off with soda water to give it some fizz.

Steps:
- Prepare the ginger: Chop the ginger into small cubes, leaving the skin on but removing any impurities. Add half of the ginger to the blender, along with the water. Blend until smooth, and then strain into a bowl, pressing the ginger pulp to get all of the flavor. Return pressed pulp to the blender, along with half of the remaining ginger and the strained liquid. Strain and repeat, and then do it once more with the remaining ginger. This method will extract maximum ginger flavor and should be done a total of 3-4 times. Taste for flavor and "zing" and repeat the process again if desired.
- Finish the ginger beer: Make the ginger beer by adding lime juice and sugar to the ginger water. Stir and taste for sweetness. Add more sugar if desired. To serve, add ice cubes to a tall glass, follow with ginger beer, and top it off with soda water. Stir again and serve.

- Cover with a piece of cloth or coffee filter held in place with a rubber band or metal ring. Place somewhere warm and dark to ferment for 3 days and give it a good stir each day. Ginger bug needs exposure to air for fermentation so don’t ferment in a sealed jar.
- After 3 days you should have bubbles forming at the top of the jar. Strain the mixture and bottle it in a bottle that can handle the carbonation. See notes for more details.
