You need to realize, years ago I had homemade gingerale and it was AWESOME. I have since been looking for a recipe that was similiar to the one I had years ago.

Now, the last recipe let the mixture ferment for a day or so, without adding the seltzer water. Then, when she made it for people, she would just add seltzer to it. This way we didn't have to drink it within a short amount of time.

It helped on numerous occasions when I had an upset stomach, or felt the flu coming on or a cold.

Thank you for the link!!

you are quite welcome. I read somewhere that the benefits from gingerroot are nonexistant in commercial gingerale as there is actually very little gingerroot in it.

From what I can tell, there isn't ANY ginger root in most ginger ales or ginger beers. lol...

I recently found a recipe for homemade Gingerale. I made it a couple of days ago and although you have to wait for it to chill, I could not. So my middle son and I decided to have some. It was not good. But I could not bring myself to throw it out so I put it in the refridgerator and forgot about it. My oldest son just came in and asked what is that, pointing to the gingerale. I explained what it was and he fixed himself a glass. As I watch his face his eyes lighten with surprise and stated "that actually is not bad, its good" So I had him pour me a glass and you know what? It is not bad. With all the benefits that Ginger provides, I thought I would share this recipe through the link. (it is very easy)

I may try making the Gingerbread also.
