Ginger Beer

Scrape and wash ginger, grate into a bowl,you can blend in a blender with the water on high speed. Add remain ingredents to the bowl,stir,taste.add more sugar or ginger if needed.

very important. place ingredient in a glass bowl or stainlees steel over night,can stay up to 2 days. the longer the better.
