👨🍳 How to Make Ginger Beer
Step 1
Cut the ginger into small pieces and add them to a blender jar.
Add a small amount of water (about 100 ml) and blend until it forms a thick pulp.
Step 2
Transfer the ginger pulp into a saucepan.
Add the remaining water.
Then add sugar, cinnamon, cardamom (slightly crushed), and cloves.
Mix everything well.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat.
Let it cook for about 2–3 minutes until the sugar dissolves and the flavors from the spices blend into the ginger mixture.
⚠️ Do not overcook.
Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed.
(⚠️ Avoid adding too much sugar.)
If the ginger flavor is too strong, you can add a little more water.
Step 4
Let the mixture cool slightly, then stir in the lime juice.
Strain the liquid and refrigerate until well chilled.
