HOMEMADE GINGER ALE SODA RECIPE FOR AN UPSET STOMACH
When I was younger, I used to think ginger ale was something that only grown-ups would have. Now that I'm older, I realized just why it was such a hit among the oldies: it's actually incredibly good for you when made properly. Ginger ale soda is my go-to drink when I need something refreshing to drink, especially when I've had something extremely rich or high-fat to eat. My kids on the other hand, have it almost every night at dinner, so I make sure to keep plenty in the fridge.

Steps:
- Place the ginger, sugar, and 1/2 cup of the water into a 2-quart saucepan and set over medium-high heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat, cover and allow to steep for 1 hour.
- Pour the syrup through a fine mesh strainer set over a bowl, pressing down to get all of the juice out of the mixture. Chill quickly by placing over and ice bath and stirring or set in the refrigerator, uncovered, until at least room temperature, 68 to 72 degrees F.
- Using a funnel, pour the syrup into a clean 2-liter plastic bottle and add the yeast, lemon juice and remaining 7 cups of water. Place the cap on the bottle, gently shake to combine and leave the bottle at room temperature for 48 hours. Open and check for desired amount of carbonation. It is important that once you achieve your desired amount of carbonation that you refrigerate the ginger ale. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, opening the bottle at least once a day to let out excess carbonation.
Tips:
- Choose the right ginger ale: Not all ginger ales are created equal. For the best results, choose a ginger ale that is made with real ginger and has a strong, spicy flavor.
- Use fresh ginger: If you can, use fresh ginger in your recipes. Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger, and it will give your recipes a more authentic ginger ale taste.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: Ginger ale is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of recipes. Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors and ingredients to create your own unique ginger ale recipes.
Conclusion:
Ginger ale is a delicious and refreshing beverage that can be enjoyed on its own or used as an ingredient in a variety of recipes. Whether you're looking for a refreshing drink to quench your thirst or a flavorful ingredient to add to your favorite dishes, ginger ale is a great choice.
