Ginger Bug is one of the most favored of recent trending foods in the world. It’s simple, it’s quick, it tastes delicious. It is appreciated by millions every day. They’re nice and they look wonderful. Ginger Bug is something that I’ve loved my whole life.
To begin with this recipe, we have to prepare a few components. You can cook ginger bug using 3 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Ginger Bug:
- Make ready 2 tsp Grated ginger
- Make ready 2 tsp White sugar
- Take 900 ml Non-chlorinated water
Brewers use the bug to brew probiotic tonics and drinks like root beer, ginger beer or probiotic lemonade. Like sourdough starter, ginger bug is a starter culture that is rich in wild bacteria and yeast. These starters kickstart the fermentation process for other. A "ginger bug" is a starter culture that will turn any fruit juice or sweetened herbal tea into a lightly fermented, naturally bubbly beverage.
Instructions to make Ginger Bug:
- Add grated ginger and water to a 1 liter jar.
- Add sugar and mix thoroughly.
- Cover the jar with a paper towel and secure with a rubber band. If using a mason jar with a 2 part lid, invert the cap and screw the ring on as usual.
- Leave the mixture in a warm area and feed it every day with another teaspoon each of grated ginger and sugar.
- Once the mixture is bubbling, it is ready to use.
- To make a soda, combine 1 liter of any sweetened fruit juice and 1/4 cup of ginger bug (strain out grated ginger) in a swingtop bottle. Let this mixture sit on your counter, releasing the gas every day or two by opening the bottle, until it reaches desired carbonation. Refrigerate to slow further carbonation.
- Notes: Only use wooden or plastic spoon to mix ginger bug as metal will have a negative effect on the bacteria. Tap water will hinder or prevent bacteria from growing; it is best to use bottled spring water. Instead of fruit juice, you can use a sweetened drink of your own making.
All you need in order to make one is fresh ginger, filtered or non-chlorinated water, and sugar. A ginger bug is a naturally effervescent slurry made from ginger, sugar, and water.
