Today we will learn how to cook ginger ale at home. Have you ever seen it in our stores? I mean real. No? I didn't have to either. I once came across lemonade with that name, but judging by the recipe it was just syrup diluted with water with some flavorings, which of course doesn’t count. If you're going to drink ginger ale, then it's not a cheap knockoff. That’s why, starting today, we’ll start making our own real ginger ale at home.

Let's remember what he is. This is a very tasty refreshing drink, usually carbonated, with the aroma of ginger. It was invented in the USA and quickly spread throughout the English-speaking world. It quenches thirst very well on sunny, hot days. It even has some healing effects on the body. Helps reduce fever during colds

There is another traditional use for ginger ale. For theatrical productions or filming, it is used as a substitute or. Most often, ginger ale represents champagne. As a rule, a very real impression is created.

Absolutely indispensable as an ingredient for various types of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Considering the fact that preparing ginger ale at home is easy and quick, we will not wait for favors from our domestic manufacturers and will prepare it ourselves.

Ingredients

• Unpeeled ginger root – 30 grams;
• Granulated sugar – 300 grams;
• Black peppercorns – 5 pcs;
• Small lemon – 1 piece;
• Clean water – 1 l.

Preparation

Rinse the ginger root under cold water and remove excess moisture with a paper towel. Let's grate it on a fine grater. Place the resulting slurry in and add half the prepared water. We will also place black peppercorns there. Bring the water in the pan to a boil, and then reduce the heat to low. Boil the contents of the pan over low heat for another 5-6 minutes. Now you need to pour the resulting broth into a sufficiently large vessel through gauze.

This way the grated ginger root will remain in the gauze. Shake it back into the pan and fill it with the remaining water again. Let's repeat the procedure. Bring the water to a boil and simmer for 5-6 minutes over low heat. Then we will also pour the resulting broth into the first portion.

While the ginger broth is still hot, you need to pour granulated sugar into it and squeeze the juice from the lemon. All we have to do is mix everything thoroughly and remove the vessel with the finished ginger ale (but not into the refrigerator) so that it cools. It is recommended to drink real ginger ale by diluting it with half and half water. Well, I don’t know, my family drinks it straight and no one winces.

This is how we made real ginger ale at home today. It will be useful to us both in the summer heat and before for use in festive non-alcoholic cocktails. Bon appetit!

Here's what you'll need to make ginger ale the old-fashioned way:

• 1 cup (225 g) sugar
• 2 tablespoons (30 g) grated ginger root
• Juice of one lemon
• 1/4 teaspoon (1.6 g) fresh granulated yeast
• Cold clean water

1. Add 1 cup of sugar to the bottle through a dry funnel. Leave the funnel in place until you have completed all the steps and are ready to close the bottle.

   Measure out 1/4 teaspoon fresh granulated active baker's yeast. Use any product you find at the health food store.

   Add yeast through a funnel into the bottle. Shake the bottle to mix the sugar and yeast.

   Finely grate 2 tablespoons of ginger root. Use the finest grater.

   Place the grated ginger in a measuring cup.

   Squeeze the juice from a whole lemon. Lemon is important for keeping pH levels low and preventing unwanted microorganisms. If you don't like lemon, try grapefruit juice instead.

   Add the juice of a whole lemon to the grated ginger.

   Mix lemon juice and grated ginger to form a paste and then add to the bottle. The mixture may get stuck in the funnel. Don't worry, the following steps will push it through.

   Rinse the container containing the lemon juice and grated ginger with fresh, clean water. Add this water to the bottle.

   Close the cap and shake the bottle. This helps activate the yeast and starts the carbonation process.

   Refill the bottle up to the neck with fresh, cool, clean water. Leave about 2.5cm of space and then screw the plug in tightly. Free space is necessary for the gases that will be produced during the fermentation process. Turn the bottle over several times to thoroughly dissolve the sugar.

   • Check the bottom of the bottle, as sugar has a tendency to linger in small pockets. The ginger root, of course, will not dissolve.

2. Place the ginger ale in a warm place for 24-48 hours. Heat is necessary for the yeast to ferment the drink. But don't forget about him! Fermenting too long will greatly increase the alcohol concentration and the flavor will change greatly.

   Check to see if the carbonation process is complete by squeezing the bottle firmly with your thumb. If it is pressed in as in the illustration, then the process is not finished yet. The fermentation process releases carbon dioxide (as in lemonades), which fills the bottle and makes it difficult to squeeze.

   Once the bottle becomes difficult to squeeze, usually after 24-48 hours of fermentation, place it in the refrigerator. Leave in the refrigerator at least overnight to ensure the drink is properly chilled before opening. Open the cap on the bottle slowly because you don't want to get sprayed with ginger ale!

   On the stove

   1. Gather all the necessary ingredients. Here's what you'll need to make ginger ale on the stovetop:

   • 40 g finely grated fresh ginger
   • 170 g sugar
   • 7 1/2 cups (1.7 L) filtered water
   • 1/8 teaspoon (0.5 g) dry yeast
   • 2 tablespoons (30 g) freshly squeezed lemon juice

   Take a large, 2-liter saucepan. Place over medium heat and add grated ginger, sugar and 1/2 cup (110 ml) water. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. This will take a few minutes, so be patient.

   Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the pan from the heat. Set it aside, cover with a lid and let sit for 1 hour. Resist the urge to work on the mixture; you can't touch it now.

   Strain the syrup. The easiest way to do this is to pour the syrup into a bowl through a fine sieve. Press down on the pieces to squeeze out all the juice from the mixture. Once you have collected all the liquid, place the bowl in an ice bath or in the refrigerator until the mixture reaches room temperature of 20-22°C.

   Prepare the funnel. Place it on a clean plastic 2-liter bottle and pour in the syrup. Then add the yeast, lemon juice and the remaining 7 cups of water. Carefully cap the bottle and shake gently to combine the ingredients. Let the ale steep for 48 hours at room temperature.

   • But not longer! If you leave it too long, the taste will become bitter due to fermentation of the yeast.

   1. Open. Open the lid slightly and make sure by the characteristic sound that the carbonation process is complete. If so, put the bottle in the refrigerator, and if the process is not completed, wait a little longer.

      • Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, opening the bottle at least once daily to release excess gas. Otherwise, the pressure will build up and the bottle may explode.

   Soft drink

   1. Gather all the necessary ingredients. Here's what you'll need to make non-alcoholic ginger ale:

   • 1 cup (200 g) peeled, finely chopped ginger
   • 2 cups (450 ml) water
   • 1 cup (225 g) sugar
   • 1 cup (225 ml) water
   • 1/2 cup (115 ml) soda water (per cup)
   • A few drops of lime juice
   • Lime slices (for garnish)

   Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan. Add peeled and finely chopped ginger. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer mixture for 5 minutes.

   • Remove from heat and leave for 20 minutes. But not longer, otherwise the mixture will become too hot.

   1. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve. Discard the ginger pieces. The water should taste like ginger, so you won't need the root itself.

      In a separate saucepan, prepare simple syrup. Dissolve 1 cup granulated sugar in 1 cup boiling water. Dissolve the sugar completely and set aside.

      Mix 1/2 cup ginger water with 1/3 cup simple syrup and 1/2 cup soda water. This amount of ingredients will be required for each glass of drink. Add a few drops of fresh lemon juice and a wedge of lime to each glass. Serve chilled and enjoy!

   • You can, of course, adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. Please note that adding lemon (step 7) is not necessary, but is recommended to prevent bacteria. If you want a spicier drink, you can increase the amount of grated ginger.
   • As an alternative way to extract ginger flavor, simmer a piece of well-peeled root in water for an hour. This will give a golden brown hue. Start with 20g of ginger root per 2 liters of water and vary the amount to suit your taste.
   • Fermentation has been used by humans for thousands of years to make bread, wine and beer. Carbon dioxide raises bread dough and produces gas in fizzy drinks. Yeast and sugar are used to carbonate drinks, including champagne.
   • Use clean fermentation containers. You can use various powdered disinfectants for cleaning.
   • You can replace most of the sugar with artificial sweeteners, but use at least 2-3 tablespoons (28-42 grams) of natural sugar. This amount is sufficient for the carbonization process.
   • Strain the ginger ale through a sieve if you don't like chunks of ginger floating in it. If you don't do this, the ginger will spill out into the first glass or two, and most of it will sink to the bottom and end up in the last glass of the drink. Wash bottles immediately after consuming all ginger ale.
   • You can personalize your ginger ale by creating your own bottle label and display it proudly in the center of your dining table.

   Warnings

   • Don't leave Ready ginger ale in a warm place longer than expected. Keeping the drink in a warm place for more than 2 days, especially in the summer when the temperature is higher, can create sufficient pressure to bottle explosion. A refrigerated bottle is less likely to explode.
   • When using the first two recipes you will get an alcoholic drink. The amount of alcohol in the finished product after 2 - 3 days of fermentation will be negligible, however, if the drink is left for several days, it will continue to ferment until all the sugar has disappeared and the alcohol content will be significantly higher. The drink will not taste like ginger ale. Please also note that in some regions the consumption of alcoholic beverages is prohibited by law.
   • Don't buy brewer's yeast, as it is usually inactive yeast left over from the brewing process. This is dead yeast. For best results, purchase yeast from a beer and wine supply store.

Ginger ale is one of the most popular types of alcoholic drink today. Highly carbonated with a distinct ginger scent and sweet taste, it will complement any dish. In terms of strength, it is classified as a low-alcohol drink (from 2 to 5%). It should not be advised or sold to persons who have not yet reached the age of majority, and any health procedures using this drink should not be carried out on children, so as not to cause addiction to alcohol.

Story

The first mentions of ginger ale can be found in the United States of America. This drink is consumed in clear form or as one of the ingredients in strong drinks with strong alcohol, such as vodka, gin or whiskey. Often used during filming as a substitute for beer to keep the cast from getting drunk.

Dark ginger ale has a brownish tint and a strong, pronounced ginger aroma. In contrast to this type, there is a light ginger ale, which is milder in flavor and visually lighter in yellowish hue.

This magnificent drink was invented in the 70s of the 19th century by Dr. Thomas Cantrell, when he was still working in a pharmacy and then specialized in surgery.

Application

Ginger ale can often be found in recipes for treating colds and some viral diseases. If you prepare ginger ale at home (3 days in advance), you can fully experience its benefits. It stimulates blood circulation, helps with indigestion, reduces sore throat and calms cough.

As mentioned above in the story, you can often find this drink on film sets. It is very common in its pure form and not only (meaning an ingredient in alcoholic cocktails). In Russia, this drink can be found from manufacturers Schweppes and Evervess. But it is not so easy to buy it, because due to its low popularity, stores are afraid to put this product on their shelves. Of course, if there is a demand for this drink, it will quickly sell out to all chain hypermarkets. And the growth in popularity among ordinary consumers will not be long in coming.

Alcoholic Ginger Ale Recipe

Compound

For five liters you will need the following ingredients:

• ginger root (not pickled; black ginger root will result in a dark ale, while light ginger root will produce a more golden ale with a less pronounced aroma);
• sugar 300 grams (both white and brown are suitable);
• lemon 2 pieces (or rather lemon juice);
• yeast (one teaspoon);
• water 5 liters (must be boiled).

Equipment

For this process you need few tools, or rather one - a medical dropper. It is necessary in order to participate in the fermentation process, which will be discussed below.

Procedure for preparing the drink

1. Fresh ginger must be peeled from its hard peel using a knife or grater and grated “pulp” on a fine grater. We also peel and squeeze the juice from the lemons. If the resulting nectar contains pulp or seeds, this is not a problem, since at the end of preparation the drink will need to be strained in any case.
2. Fill half a glass with warm water and add two tablespoons of sugar and yeast into this glass to check their performance.
3. Mix the juice of two lemons and grated ginger with the remaining sugar. Then we dissolve this mixture in five liters of water (it should be no more than forty degrees, that is, not hot, otherwise the yeast will simply die and the ale will go stale). Add the already tested yeast to the resulting solution. Mix everything.
4. We make a water seal (needed to let out carbon dioxide and keep oxygen out, thereby preventing the bottle of ale from bursting when it starts to ferment) to do this, take the lid from a five-liter canister and make a hole in it, and then insert the thicker end of the dropper there, from which the syringe was previously removed and the end of the hose was cut off.
5. Next, to ensure complete impermeability, coat the outer part with plasticine. Check for air passages. Once you are 100% sure that the air is easily passable, take the other end of the dropper and place it in a second bottle of water (the main thing is that the dropper is in the water).
6. We wait until the fermentation process begins. The system will stand in a dark, cool place with a water seal for two days, after which you can pull it out and close the bottle with a lid. All that remains is to put the ale in the refrigerator for a day.

The drink is ready!

The drink is ready!

Ginger has been used for medicinal purposes for many centuries. The components of ginger root are essential oils and phenolic compounds (shogaols and gingerols). They are what give ginger its specific taste and provide beneficial properties. This wonderful product is also the main ingredient in a sweet carbonated drink called ginger ale.

Useful properties

Despite the disagreements among lovers of this drink, ginger ale first appeared in non-alcoholic form. It is similar in appearance to beer, which is why it is sometimes called “ginger beer.” A properly prepared ginger drink has very beneficial properties that can be listed for a long time. This also helps in removing cholesterol from the body, increasing appetite and quality of digestion, improving blood circulation, and providing antiviral and antibacterial effects. Ginger ale is even used for preventive purposes and treatment of anemia.

But despite all the beneficial properties, ginger ale will not benefit everyone. Due to the presence of sugar in it, it is contraindicated for diabetics and people who have problems with excess weight. Also, people who have problems with high blood pressure and heartburn should not use it in large doses.

Types of Ginger Ale

There are two types of ginger ale - dry and golden. Golden ale is very popular, as the recipe for its production has existed for many years. It has a dark color and a strong ginger aroma. But this drink was replaced by dry ale, because the strong aroma of ginger of the golden drink fed up the residents of the United States, and they were the first fans of the so-called ginger beer, which appeared during Prohibition.

Composition of ginger ale

Ginger ale is made from sugar, ginger and soda, and sometimes yeast may be present. Some manufacturers write on the packaging that the ale contains natural flavors, but in fact they do this in order to hide the composition from competitors. Lime, lemon, honey, and pineapple can be added to it. Ales that are formulated with fructose or corn syrup should be avoided, as these ingredients are used to save on costs. Dry ginger ale may contain mint, grapes, raspberries and cranberries. Ginger ale is often used as an additive to cocktails.

For people for whom alcohol is contraindicated, this ginger drink will be an excellent substitute for champagne, for example on New Year's Eve.

Non-alcoholic ginger ale. Ingredients

The preparation of ginger ale takes four days. It takes two days for fermentation, the remaining two days for aging in a cold place. Thanks to the cold, the fermentation process will stop and the drink will become carbonated. After these processes, you can safely take the sample.

To make ginger ale at home, you only need 5 ingredients. The number of components is calculated for 2 liters of the finished drink.

Ginger - 2 tablespoons.
. Lemon - half.
. Yeast - ¼ teaspoon.
. Cane sugar - 1 glass.
. Boiled water - 2 liters.

Ginger can be purchased at almost any supermarket. You can use the most ordinary sugar; it is required so that when it works together with yeast, the fermentation process begins, and, of course, for sweetness. The water temperature should not be higher than 40 degrees, because at a higher temperature the yeast will die. You can use still water, which can be purchased at the store, then you won’t have to boil and cool it.

Lemon and ginger root

So, let's start cooking. Rinse the lemon and ginger root thoroughly, then peel and wash well again. Using a fine grater, grate the ginger root and measure out 2 tablespoons. This will be enough. If more water is added to this amount, a strong bitter taste will be present. You can use a blender or food processor for this process.

Next you will need half a lemon, you can use a whole one if you wish. You don’t have to worry about this - you can’t ruin your ginger ale with lemon. Over time, everyone will have their own recipe, since often everything in this matter depends on a person’s taste preferences. We only need lemon juice, so use a juicer to get a certain amount of it. If you don’t have this attribute, then don’t be upset - squeeze out the juice by hand, but here you need to work hard. Squeeze the lemon into a separate container, and then add grated ginger and mix well. You need to set the resulting mass aside for a short time.

Sugar and yeast

Now it's time for the rest of the ingredients of our drink. For comfort, we use a five-liter canister. Pour sugar into it. Then add yeast, but remember that you should not increase the amount of this component, as the taste of the resulting ginger ale may deteriorate. After adding the yeast, mix it thoroughly with the sugar; to do this, simply shake the container.

Next add ginger and lemon juice. And at the end we fill everything with water. If you use a smaller container, keep in mind that there should be at least 3 centimeters of free space up to the neck. Screw the lid on very tightly and shake the container well. Shake until the sugar is completely dissolved. You can wait until the sugar dissolves on its own, but this will take a very long time, and you need to complete another cooking step.

The water seal is the main element in the design

Now that the ale drink is infused in the bottle, you need to create a water seal. This will be necessary to ensure that your container does not explode, since during the fermentation process carbon dioxide is released, which needs to escape, and our container is tightly closed with a lid. And if you don't close the bottle, you could end up with a problem that turns your ale into vinegar because oxygen is not allowed in.

You can buy a water seal in a store, or you can make it yourself. To create it, you will need another container of water, an IV tube that is used in medicine, and a cap that you use to close a bottle of ale. You need to make a hole in the lid the size of a medical straw and insert one end of the latter into the lid and the other into a bottle of water. The diameter of the lid hole in a container with ginger ale should not exceed the diameter of the tube, because if it is larger, the supply of oxygen is guaranteed, but this cannot be allowed.

Lower the tube so that it does not come out of the water under any circumstances. We set aside the ginger ale along with the water seal in a secluded place for two days. You should not increase the number of days, because the yeast will “eat up” all the sugar, and the ale will turn out sour and bitter. After two days, remove the water seal and send the drink to a cold place. Be careful: when you remove the tubes, the oxygen that gets inside can create a reaction similar to opening a shaken soda. To do this, you will need to react quickly and change the caps, closing the bottle tightly.

After keeping the ginger drink in a cold place, you need to strain it and pour it into a clean container. If you keep the ale drink in the refrigerator for a couple more days, it will become more carbonated.

Alcoholic ale. Ingredients

This ginger ale, the recipe for which we will consider below, will be a wonderful addition to the table when entertaining friends or just for a private evening. To prepare we will need:

Ginger (7 cm piece).
. 5 lemons, optionally add orange and lime.
. Sugar - 500 grams.
. Black peppercorns - 1 teaspoon.
. Still mineral water - 2 liters.
. Carbonated mineral water - 2 liters.
. Whiskey - 1/3 glass per 1 serving.

Cooking process

Let's start cooking. Add grated ginger and pepper to 1 liter of still water and place on low heat, thereby bringing to a boil. Boil the boiling mass for another 5 minutes, stirring constantly (reduce the heat to low). The aroma steaming from the pan will pleasantly surprise you. After five minutes, removing from the heat, the resulting liquid must be filtered, the remaining liter of still water added to it and put back on the fire. Repeat the boiling process and add all the sugar. Now you need to let the resulting liquid cool.

We need juice from citrus fruits. Having squeezed it out, we send it to the ginger decoction. Dilute the completely cooled mass with sparkling water in a 1:1 ratio. Add 1/3 cup of whiskey per serving of drink. And by decorating a glass of ginger ale with cocktail decorations and adding a piece of citrus fruit and ice, you end up with a wonderful long-drink.

You and your guests will really like this ginger ale and will be a great addition to the party. But do not forget that you should not consume it in large quantities, especially if it contains alcohol. Everything should be in moderation, then both the drink and the fun evening will definitely be remembered for a long time.

The drink you can't stop loving

If you're not sure whether you'll like the taste of ginger ale, you can start by purchasing a drink with that flavor at the store. For example, one of them is “Schweppes Ginger Ale,” which was first released in 1870. This carbonated drink has a very interesting taste. But it’s very difficult to find it now, since it’s not sold in every store.

In general, ale is a drink whose recipe is simple and does not require much preparation. It’s not for everyone, because not everyone may like the spicy taste of ginger. But if you like it, then you will never stop loving it. We wish you good luck in preparing such a delicious drink!

A spicy fizzy drink with the aroma of ginger, fresh and intoxicating (about 4-5%), with a cost of about 150 rubles per 5 liters. Intriguing? Ginger ale can be made at home, and it will only take three days, and as a result you get a completely natural product, without any additives or “burnt” alcohol in the composition.

For five liters of ginger ale you will need:

• 300 g sugar
• teaspoon yeast
• 2 lemons
• ginger root
• 5 liter bottle or canister
• medical system (drip)

If you have sugar at home, it will be even cheaper than 150 rubles for 5 liters of ale.

Step 1. Ginger and lemons

Take fresh ginger root. Do not use the pickled version, it is not good, only fresh. Peel the root and grate it on a fine grater.

If you put as much ginger into five liters as in the picture, the drink will end up VERY spicy, so if you have stomach problems or just can’t stand spicy food, use less. Four to five tablespoons will be enough.

Step.2 Mix everything

Dissolve the juice of two lemons, grated ginger and sugar (300 g) in 5 liters of boiled water, add a teaspoon of yeast.

ATTENTION! The water should not be hot, otherwise the yeast will immediately die and your ale will simply turn sour. If we are talking about specific numbers, not hotter than 40 degrees, if it feels just warm.

Step 3. Water seal

You need this device to prevent the bottle of ale from exploding while the ale is fermenting. Take a cap from a five-liter bottle, make a hole in it and insert the system. First remove the syringe from the system and cut off the end of the hose.

Check how the air flows; if it does, everything is OK, you can pour the ale into the bottle.

Screw on the cap and place the end of the system hose in another bottle of water. The main thing is that he goes under water.

Step 4. Wait and drink

After some time, the fermentation process begins and bubbles appear in the water at the end of the hose. If they don’t appear, it means you were sold bad yeast, or you didn’t read the point about water temperature well.

The ale will stand for two days with a water seal, then you can remove it (don’t throw it away, it will come in handy) and close it with a normal lid.

But it’s too early to drink! Place in the refrigerator and store there for another day (a little less is possible, no big deal). In the refrigerator, the bottle still inflates a little, but does not burst, which is good news.

That's it, you can enjoy the drink, treat your friends and savor the fact that it contains only natural products.
