Quick Ginger Beer

I love a good Caribbean ginger beer, but the commercial varieties often have such chemical-looking additives that I have been wanting to make my own version at home. A study of homemade ginger beer recipes quickly left me with the impression that it takes up to one week to make a proper brew. And then there's the risk of exploding bottles -- scary! Who needs the stress?

Prep Time: 2 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup ginger syrup
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• soda water
• Optional: stem ginger to decorate

Preparation:

Place a piece of stem ginger in the bottom of a glass. Pour in the ginger syrup and the lime juice. Top up with soda water and gently stir. Serve immediately.

TIPS:

You should be able to find bottled ginger syryp in the baking section of your supermarket, or at Asian stores. A good one should only list ginger and sugar as ingredients.
