| Homemade Ginger Beer |
On to today’s recipe, I LOVE
homemade ginger beer. The first thing I scout for when I arrive at a Sierra
Leonean party. It is a refreshing beverage that goes with almost every Sierra
Leonean dish. Additionally it is also a good mixer with most hard liquors
especially vodka. The steps to prepare this tasty beverage are easy to follow
and require no more than 20 minute prep time depending on the size of your
blender. I hope you enjoy reading
and hopefully try out the recipe. Aprons on!!!
