Thank you for sharing sisi, but i have a suggestion. I have not tried making ginger beer but I bake a lot of bread, and I teach people that aee interested in learning home baked bread, and so I usually tell the purpose of each ingredient. My point here is, yeast is a living fungus that eats the sugar in the included ingredients and it releases carbon dioxide which in turn makes the bread rise, in this case makes the ginger bubly, 😉. The problem is you added the yeast in the cooking process the high temperature killed the yeast thereby defeating the whole purpose of adding the yeast in the first place 🫣. Try adding the yeast after it cools down but don't put it in the fridge, the cold will slow the yeast down, room temperature and sealed. It will be stronger that I stoney, and the kwetsa ooh oooh. ❤❤

Thank you for the tip.🙏🏽

[@_eeps_m]

Wow. Thank you. So insightful. 🔥🔥💯

[@nomamasumbika1790]

I actually preferred her version because when I put the yeast layer it became too strong and the alcohol content was a bit too much for me as well. Or is that the point?

[@labeebanaadir9946]

Nice and simple love this

What is the white staff you added

[@GodsWill3518]

tartaric acid & cream of tartar

[@EatingwithLesego]

Hi there.👋🏼 It's Cream of Tartar and Tartaric Acid. I'm glad a fellow online buddie answered you before me.

[@EatingwithLesego]

@@GodsWill3518 Thank you for answering. 👍🏽

[@chabilesejane5]

Is Gemere a healthy drink?

[@EatingwithLesego]

Hi there.👋🏽 I honestly don't know. Given the amount of sugar that needs to be used to make it, I would say it's best not to consume it everyday. And at the same time there is the use of raw ginger and pinapple, which has it's own fair share of benefits. So it's a little bit tricky.😅

[@chabilesejane5]

@@EatingwithLesego it really is a little tricky, but I think it's somewhat a "balanced" drink. I've never has it with pineapple, so it's something I'll definitely be trying. Thank you 🥰

[@EatingwithLesego]

@@chabilesejane5 Go for it! And you’re most welcome.😉👍🏽

[@gcinilemntambo4322]

Can I drink it the next day

[@EatingwithLesego]

Hey Ruth! And yes you can. As long as you keep it in the fridge, where it's cold. It tastes even better the following day.

[@elizewannenburgthe3894]

Ppplease give me measurements please please please xx

Ola, my lovie.🙂The ingridients and the measurements are in the description below.

How much litters does this recipe make

[@EatingwithLesego]

4 Litres.

[@oamemooketsane6966]

@@EatingwithLesego thank you I want to make 70 litres 😅😅😅 hope it turns out great

[@EatingwithLesego]

@@oamemooketsane6966 Hahaha wowzers! 😂 That is a lot of gemere. Ke sho this is for msebetsi or Christmas family gatherings. If you calculate it right, it should come out good. Give it a test run with a smaller portion and once you're happy with it, you can look at making a massive portion.

Let it Sit for 3days ?

[@EatingwithLesego]

Hey! 👋🏼 Apologies for the delay in response. I thought that I had answered you. Yes, it usually tastes better and a little stronger too. It allows for the ingridients to set. But it has to be refrigerated. Keep it in the fridge.

does it get fizzy?? i like fizzy. and alcohol content? PLEASE AND THANK YOU.

[@EatingwithLesego]

No, it doesn't get fizzy. And there's no alcohol in it. Sorry.🙏🏽

[@mrtassmanian]

If you wanted it to have alcohol and fizz, add the yeast when the liquid has cooled so as to not kill it.

[@TheForeverMan]

@@mrtassmanian THANK YOU

[@user-em4fd9dv4g]

How alcoholic is this drink?

[@EatingwithLesego]

Hi there.👋🏼 Well from my experience, it's not alcoholic at all. No alcohol.

[@carolynwilliams9638]

Video is literally useless without the measurements

[@EatingwithLesego]

Hi there. 👋🏼 There's no need to be rude. The measurements are there. Perhaps if you read the description of the video you would have seen that they are listed there.

[@thatfatpirate]

Recipe says 3x75g (150g) of ginger powder but 3x75g would be 225g so just wondering which its meant to be?

[@EatingwithLesego]

Hi there.🙂Thank you for pointing that out. It is indeed 225g.
