Jamaican Ginger Beer Recipe

lb fresh ginger (peeled)

water

cinnamon

cloves

brown rice (optional (rinsed))

lime

tsp vanilla extract

maple syrup

rum or rum essence if using

Peel the ginger

Either grate the ginger (grating is best as it brings out the flavour) or chop it up and blend with 1/2 cup of water (add more if required).

In a large pot add the ginger, cloves, cinnamon stick, rice (if adding) and water.

Simmer on low-medium heat for 5 minutes (this heats it through without destroying it&#039;s properties and without cooking it).

Remove the pot from the stove and allow to cool (if you are using granulated sugar stir it in now) and add the lime juice.

Cover the pot and either store in a cool place or refrigerate for at least several hours or up to a week (the longer you leave it to rest the stronger it will taste).

When you are ready to serve, strain off the juice into a cheesecloth or extra fine mesh strainer

Stir in your sweetener, vanilla, rum/essence (if using) (add more water if it&#039;s too strong or just adjust to taste).

An easy recipe to make this refreshing ginger drink that is popular in the Caribbean especially around Christmas time.
