Homestead Kitchen Recipe: All Natural Soda! Super Fizzy, Probiotic, Fermented Ginger Beer

Learn how to make ginger beer (some call it ginger ale) with this easy recipe. Ginger beer is an all natural, non-alcoholic soda. It’s spicy and sweet, great for settling the stomach or just enjoying as a refreshing beverage. I particularly love pouring it over a glass of vanilla ice cream as a ginger beer float. Yummy! As a naturally fermented soda, this ginger beer is full of probiotics. Have a small glass every day to keep your gut healthy!

@@mikeymakesmaps1849 it is still sweet but not super sweet! Most of the sugar is eaten by the good bacteria.
