Just 4 u
Grow a Ginger Beer Plant with 2 oz. baker's yeast (buy it at a baker's where bread
is baked on the premises). Put the yeast into a jar and add ½ pint water, 2 level teaspoons
of sugar, and 2 level teaspoons of ground ginger.
Feed it each day for the next seven to ten days, add 1 teaspoon of sugar and 1
teaspoon of ground ginger. You will see your "plant" growing day by day.
Strain it Now strain the mixture through a piece of muslin or a very fine
household sieve (keep the sediment) and add to the liquid the juice of 2 lemons, 1 lb.
granulated sugar and 1 pint warm water. Stir until the sugar has dissolved, then make up
to 1 gallon with cold water.
Bottle it. Put the ginger pop into bottles, filling to about three inches from the top,
and leave for two hours, taking care not to put them on a stone floor, unless standing on a
piece of wood, Then cork lightly. Keep for seven to ten days before drinking.
WARNING: ON NO ACCOUNT USE SCREW STOPPERS. (This is
important, to avoid burst bottles).
And start again. The sediment you had left when you strained the mixture is
divided into two and put into separate glass jars. And you're back in the brewing business
again! But now you have two plants instead of one. If one plant is enough for you, give
the other to a friend and give him the recipe. To your sediment add half a pint of cold
water and carry on as before from "Feed it . . ."
