- 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!

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.
Great idea. You can do something similar with scrap pineapple skins.
Yeah, I never peel the ginger. I just wash it.
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.
After I made a home made ginger ale I decided to look it up on you tube. I did not scale the ginger first, and I added zero sugar. I did not boil it. I grated, cold steeped and poured it directly into a bottle of tonic water. It was perfect.
John Rokoski, thanks for your comment. That's the recipe I'm looking for right there! Easy peazy. 4:59
If you're doing it that way, you can get a nice garlic press (ikea has a good sturdy one at good price) to use after chopping it with a sharp knife. You loose less ginger juice than with a grater, that way.
That's why I started drinking Ginger Beer, I need that ginger HEAT!
This has that spice you're looking for!
I only drink ginger beer
Ginger Beer is good
Thumbs up
Amen. But so much more expensive, so I switched to Canada Dry bold. On another note, Somehow the Seagrams 12oz in my work vending machine has 57, YES 57 grams of sugar. Wayyy too sweet. So I’ve gotta try this
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!
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.
That sounds pretty awesome actually
Canada Dry used to have ginger until someone in Canada sold the company to Cadbury then to Keurig Dr. Pepper
Ohhh thats awesome!! I would love to know the Original recipe!! I bet it was great
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.
Thanks for the information cause that's the only thing I drink outside of water,beer,and jack Daniel lol
@@msdarkstar44 well said men🙂
Great Information
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!
Thanks for the tip - I’m going to try this!
I have dehydrated ginger, how do I go on to make the soda after grinding it up? Thank you
@@janetill1158 I mean, this video pretty much tells you everything to do, step by step. Although if you have ground ginger, you could either leave some of it in or filter it through a coffee filter or something.
Just made this and my whole family is hooked! Thank you!
I just made this! AMAZING!!! I 100% recommend it, I don’t love ginger ale but I love ginger beer so I used less sugar and put more syrup to fizzy water
@Mediocre, now we're talking! I kept thinking about Ginger Beer. When I go to make this I'm going to make a real ginger beer and let it ferment.
Ginger ale with real ginger? You crazy maniac. Next you'll be making lemonade with real lemons.
Lol
I did do lemonade with lemon :) thats really great. You must try
I thought you had to be an actual ginger in order to make ginger ale....
@@tienphung4203 ever heard of irony?
Lmaooo
Ive been scouering the internet for good ginger ale and in all honesty, the only reason i trust you is because of your enthusiasm... love it
By far the most Stright forward recipe in all of RUclips thank you!
I knew Canada's Dry had no ginger....
I enjoy the locally made stuff...like it nice and spicy! Will definitely be trying this out
Ohhh you'll love this!! Its def a spicy one!! Let me know what you think
I should have realized, since my family makes a lot of ginger ale (no carbonation). Seagram has a kick and burn to it after the carbonation goes down, while the other two do not. That's how you know it's real ginger.
Ive been lied to why canada dry
Shadé Palmer not really. Seagrams has a higher preservative level which causes that burn. They have only increased the flavor level to compensate.
Like you are one of the most underrated youtubers I have seen, btw you should try to make some Ramadan -middle eastern dishes. Thx
WOW! Thank you so much!! Thats a good idea!
Is it alcohol free!? For children!!
Yes habibi
It's so awesome that you're inspiring others to make their own ginger ale! It's so much better when it's homemade! We just made a video on our version of ginger ale. 🥂
I saw it. You two popped off hard in that vid! with the ginger bug and everthing.
Currently sick and drinking Canada Dry. I do have real ginger root in the house. All i'm missing is lime and club soda. Can't wait to try this.
Wow this looks delicious! I've always liked ginger ale, especially the really strong "Jamaican style". I'll definitely be giving this a try.
We drink Bunderberg Ginger Beer in Australia, it’s brewed using real ginger and tastes amazing
Omg I loved this! I need to try this😍😍😍
Emma its sooooo good!!!
I did, it’s excellent!
Love ginger
Wow, looking real hot Emma
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!
Thanks a lot for this amazing homemade healthy recipe.
Thanks for the inspiration! I will use a mandolin to get thin ginger slices. Love your videos!
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.
Homemade Kefir made with lemon & ginger is delish & good for an upset tummy too. Mandoline slice ginger. A pinch of citric acid (vit C) makes it last longer.
Ascorbic acid is vitamin C not citric acid 😉
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.
I love Ginger too!
Ginger ale, Ginger Beer (I love how potent it is).
Shoot, even making a Ginger wine right now
Idk why but I had no clue ginger wine exists that sounds so good
Washing the ginger helps make it clearer, i jus finished making it the way u did and tried washing the ginga down till i seen no white in the water
you can grate it like wasabi and you can easily squeaze our the extract/juice from that ginger, my dad has this tonic that he makes from ginger, lemmon and garlic and honey and its pretty potent and extremely delicious without the garlic.
I have made something similar and like it. You can control the strength. I grew up with Vernors in Detroit. I have had other drinks in Maine that are much stronger but seem to smell like some kind of cleaner instead of ginger ale.
I just put handful of fresh ginger in my nama juicer with two limes and added coconut sugar and peirrier sparkling water!!! 😋 was better than the expensive Q ginger ale I used to buy.
You've inspired me to try making my own ginger ale. My syrup is cooking right now and I'll be using ice mountain carbonated water. The next thing will be to use ginger to make a ginger bug and make more of a very low abv "ginger beer"
I've always been a big ginger ale fan, but don't like the fake ones either. I just made you homemade concoction and it really is one of the best ones I've ever had. Thanks dude.
Brewers Yeast added to the ingredients instead of club soda is the authentic way and it’s sooooooo much better. It takes a minimum of 24-36 hrs. But it’s authentic ginger ale/beer.
I leave mine for a week and it carbonates really good.
I used sodastream bottles and no carbonation. The brewers yeasted created carbonation.
Gracias por la receta. Lo voy a preparar pero para conservas.
Saludos cordiales desde el Bajío!
I use ginger, mint, lemon or lime, curcuma powder and honey no sugar.
Do you mix in the honey after it cools a bit? I hear boiling honey is bad? What is the ratio of honey to giner?? Also, what is curcuma? Excited to try this version!!
Yum!! Thank you so much! Jesus bless you! 😊
Looks nice and refreshing
i just made this today ... I couldn't find anywhere ginger ale for my Jameson lol merry Christmas and thank youu !!!
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.
I tried it it fire🔥🔥🔥🔥
Friggin awesome! Tried it, loved it!
Something I found enjoyable was adding 2-3tbs of freshly squozen lemon juice. Yum
This looks really good! But I'd even go as far as to blend all the ginger and mix it all in to the final product. Good for motion sickness.
You can improove this by not boiling the lime zest, it just turns bitter.
Peel all the lime and cover it in the sugar you include later. Let that sugar zest mixture sit for an hour or two. By that you get all the oils from the lime peel.
Mix in the lime sugar about 5 minutes before the ginger ale is done.
What's with the lime juice?
I add it 2 minutes before everything is done. By that you don't waste the lime juice. I prefeer that taste by far over a simple ginger ale.
Also, use a whisk, much easier.
To really get the ginger heat and aroma out, put the ginger throug a box grater and let the ginger sit in the water for atleast 30 minutes.
I use lemon/lime soda water with no sweetener, in the ginger ale syrup. Really good.
This is the kind of quality content ive been searching for
Aww thank you!!!
I wish I saw this Video before I bought ginger flavoring (though I don't regret buying since I'm confident I got a good brand). I'll try this recipe out when I use up my extract, don't want it going to waste.
Mark that looks really cool and easy to make ! Great job !
Thanks Kent!! Yeah this is an easy one for sure!! ITs GOOD!
Looks delicious!! 😋🫚🍋🥤
There is a British ginger ale that is amazing. Fever Tree. Tastes like Canada dry used too.
I usually make mine by pureeing ginger and lemon or lime, then strain. I find blending releases the most flavor
Wow!! I am so excited!!
Ok I’m hooked, I’ve binge watched a couple of your videos including radish bacon and now ginger ale. Oh and last but not least the Water Melon Ham.
Mixed with some vodka would taste brutal.
Thanks man.
Right??? I personally like to mix it with some Beam! Hahaha
@@SauceStache Honey or even apple Beam would get along too.
Hmmm, what about a cocktail (or the non alcoholic version of them) lesson for the next video?
I guess people would like to see both regular and non-alcoholic version of popular cocktails.
Irken maniaK Dark rum and you’ll have the best ever Dark and Stormy!
@@mirandamom1346 Thanks mom, hahaha. I'll write it down just in case.
Every time I prepare it for someone else, I'll call it "Stormy Mom".
Thanks.
Im here for this whole comment thread.
Looks great. Can't wait to try it but I won't bother peeling the ginger - certainly for an extract like this is!
Thank goodness! For your help!!!!!
This is wonderfulllllll!!! Ginger Ale is my fav soda!!
First class video, great production. That Gingerale looks amazing. Happy to see your channel grow. I bet you hit 100k by the end of the year.
This is great. Would you mind if i suggested a swap? Instead of using sugar, one could use allulose. I use it instead of sugar now and its the closest thing to sugar. no after taste. I suppose with allulose, that could be the diet ginger ale.
Helps with seasickness and car sickness? I heard that motion sickness is the same as seasickness, so honestly thank you for making this! I'll make a batch next paycheck so that I'm ready for my next Virtual Reality session. You're a saint, dear sir!
Made this using the recipe in your video! Taste amazing thanks 😃😃😃
Man, how do you not have more views! I absolutely love your content my friend !
Thank you so much!!!!! I really appreciate that
you can make carbonated ginger ale by mixing ginger, sugar,water, yeast, ferment it in a dark place for 24 hrs. you should make a video on that :)
That's how it was originally made, hence the word "ale"
I definitely going to be giving this a try in the next few days. Have always wanted to make my own Ginger ale cause I think it would taste better.
thank you learned and tried this it is FABULOUS !
I'm going to try this ginger ale.
I never watch cooking shows. And here I am again. lol
I'm definitely gonna try it!
I 'll give it a try but i have to use Splenda , thanks bud
Monk fruit is good too.
I love this video. I am definitely going to make the ginger drink.
Canada Dry used to have real ginger in their soda. It does not taste like real ginger ale today b/c its all extract. Canada used to have the finest ginger ale in the world. It really sucks that they dont ferment it like they used too. Canada Dry is now owned by Kuerig Dr Pepper.
I love ginger ale since I was three
I found this amazing!! You hit some high key 🔑 points in this video! Everything is “modernized” for convenience & profits. I think it’s time for us to step back into the 1800’s using organic materials, but taking it up a notch by using modern day tools. There are too many additives in the things we eat & drink now. AWESOME JOB MARK!! 👏 👏 *SHARED*
Awww Thanks Terri!! Its nice to make your own stuff.. it tastes better and you just know its better! Im so glad you liked this one so much!!
problem now is we have FDA regulations to contend with, also transportation/warehousing time until the final consumer buys the products ... to step back, step into your kitchen and make your own is best. After a few batches you'll get the amounts and timing down to a science. And you'll be eating real food instead of corporate junk.
I like to use honey for sweetener. Trying cut down on the proceesed sugar
Amazing I made so good thank you so much ❤
Finally you make a video that isnt stupid. It was informative and i would actually do this
This crossed my mind many times - Liiike how will it make you better when there is no real ginger in it? But I always digressed because what can I do about it? Now I have the answer to that - I can make my own!
Vernor's used to be amazing, but it hasn't been great in many years. Thank you for this video!
Thanks man! I tried this and it turned out to be way better than Schweppes!
great energy. dig this guy
Hey! I just wanted to say that u r amazing ☺️ I only watched 2 min of this video and I am already an fan! So please keep on 😍
I guess that's why ginger ale never helped with my morning sickness.
The clinical trials showed no improvement over placebo levels for ginger in "vomit comet" human volunteer testing. Ginger is however an NSAID medication.
u needed to buy Vernors. its the only one iv found that actually has ginger!! prue Miagain baby!
@@Knight-Night Yeah Vernors is the best.
I love ginger ale it’s my favorite soda besides Pepsi and a bunch of Spanish sodas I’ve had as a kid
Seagram’s is the best imo
Great video man
You should make a video about why your a vegalatarian and your favorite recipies
@Video Newbie I dont know hes always saying "I'm primarily a vegetarian"
@Video Newbie That's why he needs to make a video
I've always loved to make this
Edit:out of the juices you make starch and powder.
Thats awesome !!! Thanks for the info too!
@@SauceStache no problem
@@SauceStache I just asked my mum, she said I was wrong. The juice you can make ice cubes, the actually ginger you the powder and starch. My bad for the misinformation.
Does Xylitol work as well, I think cane sugar would be good too. I need to try this recipe.
Great stuff. Thanx. Im making it!
Wow.. its really look yummy. 😋
This is the first video of yours (and I’ve watched quite a few lol) that I’ve actually debated making. I have a cyclical vomiting syndrome& I bet this would be wayyyy better on the tummy than store bought ginger ale. Some ginger ale doesn’t even have ginger in it... it’s FLAVORED like ginger...
Idk what that syndrome is but dont eat dirty food at all. We're not supposed to eat it let alone people with problems like yourself. Maybe you'd feel better and respect yourself or something
"these drinks don't have ginger they only have ginger extract!" proceeds to make and even call his own a ginger extract 😂 I'm sorry I'm not trying to be a jackass I just found it funny. Great video though 👍
awesome....do you think honey would be a good alternative to sugar?.....love this recipe!...thanks so much...there is a place in Gainesville, Florida they make craft ginger ales as well as craft beers..awesome place called the Swamphead Brewery
You can totally use honey! On the website I put in the notes that you can play around with the sweetener used and the amount. The cool thing about this recipe is that you can really add too it or change it and you'll still end up with a ginger syrup to use! I'll have to check out Swamphead next time I'm up that way!
fructose instead of sucrose? should work.
Thanks for sharing!🙏🏽
Thank you for share!
Great recipe! Thanks!
Simpler than I thought!
I am so glad you told us about the ingredients, so much false advertising. I'm going to try your recipe!
Looks great...I would have blended it then strained it
Looks amazing
Thank you!!!
Will try it
Can I use sweetener instead of sugar? And if so, how much do you think would be good?
