A staple of Jamaican street drinks, this ginger ale is made by simmering fresh ginger in plenty of water, then steeping and balancing it with lemon. Topped with soda water, it fizzes into a sharp, refreshing homemade drink.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Simmer the ginger

20 min

Bring the grated ginger and water to a boil in a pot, then simmer over low heat for 20 minutes until the water smells strongly of ginger.

2

Steep and strain

15 min

Remove from the heat, cover and let it steep for 15 minutes, then pass through a fine strainer to remove the ginger pieces.

3

Sweeten and serve

10 min

Stir the sugar into the strained syrup while hot until dissolved, then add the lemon juice once cool; to serve, top two spoonfuls of syrup with soda water in each glass and add ice.

Reminder

Let the ginger syrup steep for at least 15 minutes — straining it early leaves a mild flavour. Make the syrup concentrated and dilute it with soda water to your own taste.

Zencefili 20 dakika kaynattım ama benim rendem kaba çektiği için parçalar süzgeçten geçti, şerbet biraz lifli kaldı. Demlemeyi de tam 15 dakika yapmama rağmen tat yine de hafif geldi, bir dahakine zencefil miktarını artıracağım.
