Instructions
Step 1
Clean all utensils and containers. Optional: Sterilize all utensils and containers with CraftSan. Likely overkill though.
Step 2
Add the water into a pot and bring to a boil.
Step 3
Add the ginger and sugar, and simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes.
Step 4
Take of the heat and allow to steep for a couple of hours.
Step 5
If the temperature hasn't reached 25C by two hours, Add container to water bath until it does. You can avoid the water bath by letting it steep for longer. This is not recommended, as this might slow down the fermentation if it cools down naturally. That is my experience, but I am not sure why it happens though.
Step 6
Add ginger bug and fresh lemon juice to the pot.
Step 7
Strain the tea, then funnel into a 1.5L bottle.
Step 8
Let sit at room temp for 1-2 days. Avoid direct sunlight, and burp it regularly.
Step 9
Move to fridge and let it stay for at least 1 day. The longer it stays, the better it holds carbonation.
Step 10
Enjoy!
