Instructions
Add chopped ginger to a saucepan and add water. Bring to a boil then turn down to a high simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove saucepan from the heat and stir in sugar until it dissolves.
Strain liquid in saucepan into a 4-cup measuring cup or bowl using a mesh strainer to catch the ginger.
Allow mixture to cool to room temperature and then add ginger bug and stir well.
Decant mixture into a jar and put on a lid and allow to ferment for 2 – 6 days. Loosen lid each day to release fermentation gas that will build up in jar. Once the desired level of carbonation and flavor have been achieved, refrigerate.
Ginger Bug
A Ginger Bug is a fermentation starter for making homemade carbonated beverages. It's easy to make and only takes a few minutes a day of preparation over the course of 5 days to ferment. Once it's fermented, you will add a 1/4 cup of the ginger bug liquid to a quart of a sweetened beverage that you'll decant into a sealed bottle. Left undisturbed, the sweetened liquid ferments and becomes a carbonated drink that is gut healthy and probiotic rich and much better for you than commercially made sodas.
