A version of this is common to many sub-saharan countries in Africa and the recipe given here makes a concentrate that can be diluted with plain or sparkling water. Ingredients
2l boiling water
Ginger Ale Preparation:Method:Pour the boiling water over the grated ginger, sugar, cloves and cinnamon in a large bowl. Cover and set aside in a warm place (preferably in full sun) for at least an hour so that it steeps properly. At the end of this time strain through a fine sieve or muslin cloth then add the fruit juices and the cold water and set aside in a warm place for another hour. Gently strain the liquid once more, ensuring that any sediment remains in the bottom of the bowl. Store in the refrigerator in bottles or a glass jug. Serve diluted 4:1 with still or sparkling water over ice in a tall glass, finishing with a squeeze of lime juice. |
