This is not 'beer' as most think of it. There is no alcohol involved. This popular drink is usually made around Christmas time in the Caribbean, but can be enjoyed whole year round. Found at Squidoo website for Caribbean recipes. **Note it steeps for 1 WEEK. This is the 7 day 'cook time'.**

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 large fresh gingerroot

1 cup sugar (more if a sweeter taste is desired)
4 whole cloves

Steps:

  • Wash and scrape the skin off the ginger. Grate or blend the peeled ginger (grating brings out the flavor more, but to save time it can be blended).

  • Cover jar tightly and refrigerate for 1 week.
  • Line a large strainer with a double layer of cheesecloth.
  • Strain ginger mixture through strainer into another wide mouthed gallon glass or ceramic jar, firmly pressing on solids with the back of a spoon to extract as much flavor as possible.
  • Throw away the solids.
  • Add the remaining sugar to ginger beer and stir until it dissolves.
  • Serve in glasses over crushed ice, garnished with mint sprigs.
