Grow Your Own Ginger Beer Plant, and You’Ll Never Need to Buy a Bottle Again
Ingredients
  • When I was small, bottles of home-made ginger beer lined the pantry shelves -  and the thirst quenching pleasure of its peppery ginger notes still lingers on. Today, the supermarket shelves are loaded with various styles and brands of ginger beer, but nothing gets close to the satisfaction of making your own from a ginger beer plant.
  • Ginger beer plants, as they are known, used to be sold at Women’s Institute stalls and local markets, but it has been some years since I saw any. They’re not pretty - a glass jar containing an inch of sandy sludge covered with a cloudy liquid - but they’re so easy to make, and all the family can enjoy the experience.
