Did you know that most Ginger Ales don't actually get made using Real Ginger... well at least ginger is not on their ingredients list. They all have Ginger Extract!!! We are going to make a simple ginger ale using real ginger and its going to be GOOD!

Canada Dry used to have ginger until someone in Canada sold the company to Cadbury then to Keurig Dr. Pepper

@msdarkstar44 5 жыл бұрын

Sauce Stache you just made the original recipe! As a former Product Developer for Cadbury/Dr Pepper the only thing that has changed is cheaper ingredients. The ginger extract is made almost the same way except that it is more concentrated using a distillation method. Look at the label. You’ve used citric acid in the form of lime juice. The only thing you didn’t use was caramel color, HFCS and preservatives. Unfortunately it, like all processed foods, it’s been cost reduced. As for the lawsuit, by FDA standards it still contains ginger and other natural ingredients.

I make this all the time, but I add vinegar and mint to it. It is called sekanjabin. It is an Iranian drink meant to cool you off. You can also use honey instead of sugar. It is fantastic. I mostly don’t add soda water just tap water works fine. Sometimes I’ll mix diet ginger ale into it!

@desertodavid 5 ай бұрын

That sounds much healthier then adding all that sugar. I would not use diet ginger ale either because it has synthetic sugar which is just as bad for your body as any other table sugar.

@bakabaka2061 4 жыл бұрын

Here is a tip. you don't have to take the skin off, just clean them with a brush. Cut the ginger up throw into a blender or food processor and throw into pot with lime. Then with a chese cloth pour steeped contents into cloth and ring out. TA DA and you probably got a way more concentrated ginger too.

@docjoesweeney 17 күн бұрын

Great idea. You can do something similar with scrap pineapple skins.

@OleensEmbroidery 5 жыл бұрын

I just finished making this recipe and it came out awesome. I didn't have lime zest so I used lemon zest. Also, after slicing the ginger I put it in a blender with some water to really extract the flavor. This one is a keeper.

@KelABN Жыл бұрын

Nice video! If you want to get more flavor, skip the peeling, just cut it into thin coins and dehydrate it for a few days (or 1-3 hours in a 150° oven) , then powder it in a spice grinder. The more surface area, the more flavor you get. Heating removes much of the spicy and makes it sweeter, because it converts the spicy gingerol to the adorably-named zingerone. There are a lot of ways to play around with it, but that’s the fun part!

Great video as always. No need to peel the ginger. And as you concluded, grating ginger is difficult, so chopping it with a knife or using a blender or someting similar is better. Though there is another type of grater that is commonly used in Japan (and maybe other places) that finely grates ginger to almost a puree with ease. Keep these great videos coming!

Canada Dry was a staple of my youth as well! All those sick days and weekends at my grandma's house. Let's just pretend it works! Regarding your quest to find a good vegetarian bacon: since going veg I like to cut thin strips of sharp cheddar, lay them out on a parchment-lined baking sheet, sprinkle with paprika/black pepper, and bake at 350 for a few minutes. It flattens right out, and when it cools it has a nice chewy bacon-ish texture (as long as you don't overcook it). RAD substitute in almost any recipe that calls for bacon, and it's ridiculously easy to make with minimal cleanup.

Before adding in all that sugar and soda water you had a great ginger tea. You could drink it plain, add a little sugar, honey, or what ever like . Split into separate pots at start( one pot with the ginger and add some turmeric roots then boil the other pot with just ginger). Add ginger tea to other juices and chill. Add ginger tea to some cinnamon tea ( boil some cinnamon stick to get tea) would get ginger cinnamon tea or take one more step and add some hibiscus and boiled to make a Jamaican drink called sorrel. You can add your sweeter of choice and drink hot or cold. Has a lot of health benefits or if have guess and a little rum or liquor of your choice.

Ginger does, in fact, help with sea sickness, motion sickness, upset stomach, etc. It basically works the same way as cinnamon in that it helps your stomach digest things (from my understanding). Crystallized ginger is the best way to use it as a medicine, though powdered ginger and fresh ginger will work, too. Ginger brewed into a tea is also good for your respiratory system. As for the soda -- the carbonation in it is pretty much what settles your stomach.
