Trinidad Ginger Beer Recipes

GINGER BEER

Steps:

• Wash and remove the skin from the ginger. Chop the ginger and blend in a little water.
• Pour into a large pot with the rest of water and leave to soak and ferment for about 24 hours or longer if you want it stronger tasting.
• When fermented, strain the mixture. Add lime peel to the ginger beer and sweeten to taste. Remove the lime peel, bottle and refrigerate. Serve chilled.

CARIBBEAN GINGER BEER

Steps:

• Soak ginger root in enough water to cover for about 30 minutes to loosen dirt and debris.
• Lightly scrape ginger with knife to remove most of outer skin.
• Cut each piece of ginger into 2 pieces.
• Add to blender, add 2 cups of water and blend until you get a pulp (about a few seconds).
• Boil approximately 3-4 cups of water and pour over grated ginger. The amount of water you add will depend on how strong you want the ginger beer to be.
• Add cinnamon stick, and cloves. Let the ginger beer sit on counter for at least 2-4 hours. I recommend, tasting it every hour or two. The longer it sits, the stronger the ginger beer will be as the flavor is extracted.
• Strain the ginger beer after 2-4 hours.
• Add 2- 4 cups more water (depending on your desired taste) sugar, vanilla, and lime. Use the sugar listed above as a guide on how much to add depending on your taste.
