Ingredients

• 100 grams Fresh ginger root
• 1 liter Water
• 50 grams Erythritol
• 60 milliliters Lemon juice
• 60 milliliters Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Active dry yeast
• 1 cup Additional water
• 1 cup Ice cubes

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely grate the ginger root. You'll want the ginger to be finely grated to maximize flavor extraction.

Step 2

In a pot, combine the grated ginger with 1 liter of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the pot from heat and let the ginger mixture cool to lukewarm. Once cooled, strain the liquid using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.

Step 4

Dissolve the erythritol in the strained ginger liquid by stirring well. Add the lemon juice, lime juice, and vanilla extract to the mixture, stirring until combined.

Step 5

In a small cup, combine the active dry yeast with 1 cup of lukewarm water. Stir until the yeast is dissolved. Let it sit for about 5 minutes or until bubbles form, indicating the yeast is active.

Step 6

Pour the yeast mixture into the ginger liquid and stir well.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture into a large sealable bottle or jars, leaving some space at the top for carbonation. Seal tightly and leave it at room temperature for about 24 to 48 hours, allowing the carbonation to develop.

Step 8

Check the ginger beer after 24 hours by opening a bottle slightly to release pressure. If it's fizzy enough for your liking, transfer the bottles to the refrigerator. If not, reseal and allow it to ferment for another 12 to 24 hours.

Step 9

To serve, chill the ginger beer thoroughly. Pour over ice cubes and enjoy fresh or use it as a mixer in your favorite cocktails.
