Medi-Veggie: Ginger Bug and Fermented Soda

This recipe aired during our March 3 episode featuring crisis counselor Emma Ferrell.

Ingredients and Materials for Ginger Bug:

• a washed, organic ginger root, grated or peeled (about a tablespoon)

• a glass jar with a lid

• 1 tablespoon of sugar

• non-chlorinated water

Ingredients and Materials for Ginger Beer:

• 2 oz. of ginger per bottle (peeling is optional)

Ensure your sweetened, diluted ginger juice is cool before adding your ginger bug liquid -- heat will kill our friends!
