GINGER BEER
This is my go-to recipe for making Ginger Beer.  I love it, as it is so easy to make.  Once chilled, it’s ready to use. When I grew up, ginger beer was a very popular drink in South Africa and many people had their own special recipe.  We could buy it, too (I believe one still can), and it was actually called ginger beer, not ginger ale. :)

In large saucepan, place water.  Peel ginger, cut into large pieces and chop finely in food processor or blender.  Add ginger to water.  Bring to boil and simmer 10 minutes.  Allow to cool.  Pour into jug and refrigerate overnight.  Sieve.  Stir in liquid sweetener.  Pour about 1/2 cup (125 mL) ginger syrup in a tall glass and add 1 cup (250 mL) ice cold lemon-lime carbonated spring water, plain carbonated water, OR diet ginger ale.  Enjoy!
