How to Make a Ginger Bug for Making Probiotic Rich Fermented Drinks
Hi Sweet Friends,
A Ginger Bug is a fermentation starter for making homemade carbonated beverages. It’s easy to make and only takes a few minutes a day of preparation over the course of 5 days to ferment. Once it’s fermented, you will add a 1/4 cup of the ginger bug liquid to a quart of a sweetened beverage that you’ll decant into a sealed bottle.
Left undisturbed, the sweetened liquid ferments and becomes a carbonated drink that is gut healthy and probiotic rich and much better for you than commercially made sodas.
After you’ve made the Ginger Bug, be sure to use it to make Fermented Ginger Ale.
