If you've been lucky enough to grow and harvest your own ginger at home (or if not - have some to hand) then why not brew your own traditional ginger beer?
Recipe:
450g sugar
4.5L of water
1 unwaxed lemon
40g root ginger
25g cream of tatar
11g brewers yeast

He mixed water and ginger 🫚 together. Over time, the ginger water became fermented with natural yeast from the ginger and its skins.
Don't know if you've heard of this but in the UK we used to (and some of us still do) make ginger beer using a 'ginger beer plant', this being a yeast culture that you feed with sugar and ginger (fresh or dried) on a daily basis and use to brew ginger beer. Like kombucha or kefir, exactly like water kefir in fact but gingery. A very old technique here, I have read that the Tudors did it.
Cheers mate, good video.
