Add Rosewater to Lemonade
Buy at Asian markets or just infuse water with rose petals
Add just a bit, under season until you learn the right amount. It should only appear as an after taste
A Syrian friend served this in his restaurant
trust me on this one...

I made some ginger bug drinks last year but then got tired of feeding the bug along with other projects so I added a little AC vinegar then left it out to turn into a tasty ginger vinegar. This and being reminded of the switchel recipe has me thinking about starting a new bug!

That sounds ridiculously refreshing! Keep up the good work!

I like making ginger bug lemonade with some hibiscus tea. Super good!

Thanks for the recipe Trent. I gave this a try and had no issues getting the ginger bug fermenting, the issue I had was once I combined the lemonade and 100g of ginger bug, nothing has happened after 4 days and mold is now growing on some of the floating ginger pieces. Not one bubble has appeared on the surface of the lemonade. Has this happened to you?

Im going to do this with a amazing organic pink lemonade that they have at costco and my ginger bug. Should be amazing.

You’re going to get me hammered Trent 🍻

[johnmyers]

Great video as always keep up the good work!!

[millerkold]

Definitely gonna have to make this! Keep up they great videos

Thanks, that was so refreshing. What's the difference if you boil the ginger before (i.e. make a ginger tea) before fermenting it with the bug. I know you didn't boil yours in this video but what's the difference in taste and nutritional profile in the fermented lemonade when compared to your ginger beer. Thanks.

I used frozen lemonade and frozen pink grapefruit juice, then slice strawberries or crush, for lemonade. I bet if carbonated, be even better. Take care.

Nice video. Might give it a try. Cheers

Extra points for not leaving a lot of headspace. Too much space actually adds to possible bottle 🎉
