I am pretty sure by now that you guys are tired of me making claims about making this drink or this beer or that beer but in the end, I never did. Well, that’s a poor habit of mine. I am certain that some of you guys are also guilty of doing it as well. Well, for me I am doing it all the time. Can’t really help myself. I have this feeling that I need to do something like making this or that beer, but when the time comes for me to actually doing it, I don’t have the time or don’t have the energy to do it. I guess this is life. Really, it can’t be helped.
But this time, I am doing it for sure. Why you might ask. Well, first of all, I have already ordered the stuff needed to make the Ginger beer. I got this “kit” online from ebay and they will ship the Ginger beer ingredient kit to me. It cost about US$5.95 plus about another US$5 for shipping. Not that expensive, considering that in the local store sells their Ginger Beer kit for S$30. And secondly, it is very easy to do. Just mix the kit ingredients in hot water, then fill up with cold water. After which you add the yeast and mix them thoroughly. The next step is to bottle the Ginger beer. To get carbonation, you will need to add sugar. The process is merely adding sugar to the bottles and topping up with the ginger beer. Just wait a few weeks and you will get some nice delicious ginger beer. Of course, this is non-alcoholic which means that kids can enjoy it as well.There is no need to go and hunt for ginger and cut them and so on. Easy. Life should be easy and so does making Ginger beer.
The reason why I chose to make Ginger beer is because it is actually very healthy. In Singapore, you can see a lot of people drinking ginger tea which is supposed to stimulate digestion, boosts circulation and help supports the liver. If you have flu or a cold, a ginger tea will definitely help. So I guess if you drink Ginger beer, it should have the same effect. I am not that keen to go out and dig for ginger so this should be the next best thing.
Anyway, I was browsing the ebay store which sells the ingredients and I found that they do sell many types of home made soda drinks like root beer, spruce beer, birch beer and so on. Kind of interesting since I have never tasted many of these soft drinks before. I doubt you can find Spruce beer or birchh beer in Singapore anywhere. From what I read, the spruce beer tastes like Cola and the birch beer taste like root beer. Hmmm….
