Drinks

Ingredients

  • 3¾ cup (887ml) water
  • ⅜ cup (75g) sugar
  • 1 inch (7g) fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 raspberries (~25g), quartered
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • ¹⁄₁₆ tsp (half a pinch) active dry yeast

Method

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the finely grated fresh ginger, quartered raspberries, sugar and ¼ cup water.
  2. Bring the ingredients to a boil slowly, and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  3. Once the sugar has dissolved, remove it from the heat and place a lid on it.  Allow it to steep for one hour.
  4. Place a fine cloth over a bowl and pour in the mixture.
  5. Allow the syrup to strain through and then squeeze the pulp in your cloth to get the rest out.  
  6. When the syrup has cooled to room temperature, add it to a one litre bottle.
  7. Add the remaining ingredients, put the cap on tightly and give it a slight shake to mix it up.
  8. Leave the bottle to sit at room temperature for 24-48 hours, feeling the bottle to see if it has any give.
  9. Make sure to open the bottle occasionally to make sure you let some of the carbonation out.
