Ginger beer

---

Imperial	Metric	Ingredients
2 oz.	57 g.	root ginger, grated or blended
2.5 lbs	13 dl	sugar, granulated
1 oz.	2 tbsp	cream of tartar
	2.4 dl	juice of 8 limes
10 qts.	9.5 l	boiling water
		Mix all the ingredients together. Cover and leave for a day or two. Strain and bottle. I normally take 3-4 times the amount of ginger root, trying to emulate the flavour of the lovely ginger beer served at the Senior Common Room at UWI/Mona in Kingston Jamaica. I blend the ginger root together with some of the water in the recipe. Source: Donaldson, Enid The real taste of Jamaica. Kingston: Ian Randle Publishers Ltd., 1994.
