3 Ingredient Homemade Fermented Ginger Beer

Look fermentation is cool. That’s just how it is. This drink is an almost miraculous moment, where you literally just take some sugar, and some ginger, mix it in water, let it sit, and then in a few days you have a powerful fermented mixture to make your very own ginger beer without adding any commercial yeast at all. You are basically harnessing the power of nature to make a Moscow Mule. So yeah, that’s pretty cool.
