Quick And Easy Ginger Beer Recipe

A long glass of ginger beer over ice is one of my favourite drinks on a warm summers day.

At one time ginger beer was brewed as an alcoholic drink but today, with one or two exceptions (alcohilic ginger beer is now commercially available), if you ask for ginger beer you will be served with a carbonated soft drink.

Traditionally ginger beer is made using a ginger beer plant but here I am going to share with you my quick and easy ginger beer recipe, and, in addition to tasting fantastic, the ginger (and there is plenty of it in my ginger beer recipe), is also well known for its medicinal benifits, as an aid to; nausea, digestion and colds.
