Homemade Ginger Ale: 3 Ingredient Recipes

DOG and I both have tummy aches today, so we're going to take it easy and drink some ginger ale. And wouldn't you know it, homemade ginger ale is actually easy to make, and it's just 3 ingredients!

Ginger Ale

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups ginger (peeled and chopped)
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups water for syrup, plus extra for seltzer

Bring water and ginger to a boil in a small saucepan, then immediately reduce heat to simmer. Simmer on low for 40-45 minutes, then cover and steep for 20-25 minutes. Strain liquid.

Add sugar and return to heat to melt sugar into syrup. Remove from heat and cool completely.

Carbonate remaining water in Soda Stream or similar carbonation machine, or use bottled seltzer and put in iced glass. Pour in ginger syrup to taste and drink cold.

“They say that the recipe for Sprite is lemon and lime, but I tried to
make it at home, there’s more to it than that. ‘Hey, you want some more
homemade Sprite, man?’ . . . ‘Not until you figure out what the f**k
else is in it!’” -Mitch Hedberg

The only beverage I'll drink with ginger in it is a Moscow Mule. Yum.

Lemonade - 'Tart. And refreshing.'

Sugarcane (also: sugar cane) juice - 'Sweet. And refreshing.'

Infused water (fruit, etc.) - 'Delicate. And refreshing.'

Blood-orange soda - 'Bittersweet. And refreshing.'

Ginger ale - 'WIDE AWAKE, NOW.'

That odd thought in my head asking why Sullivan can speak perfect English while Dog can't 😂

I absolutely LOVE this. I have cancer and a severe case of lupus. I get weekly infusions, so I have a lot of upset tummy problems. I try ginger in all forms. I would love a homemade recipe for GingerAle. I do not have a Soda Stream. I'm not normally fond of Selter water, but I wonder how using it with this recipe it would taste.
Also, I'm thinking of ways to use the leftover ginger, maybe some Asian soup...Hot & Sour??? or to steam some rice with it??? pickle it??

That looks delicious! I didn't expect it to take so much ginger, but it does make sense. I'll have to try this sometime.

We don't drink much soda anymore but I do love gingerale. The soda stream looks like a nifty tool too :)

[LauricesKitchen]

This is a great idea!! I find almost all ginger ale is way too sweet for me. I suspect that I could cut back a bit on the sugar for this until it's a bit less sweet. 💖
