Ginger provides many health benefits. It can reduce pain and inflammation and helps in relieving back and muscle pain. It also helps people who suffer from degenerative or rheumatoid arthritis.
Just with a little dried ginger, lemon juice, and sugar, you can make your own ginger beer, a powerful beverage that treats various health problems.
Here is what you need to prepare ginger beer at home:
- 450 ml filtrated water
- 115 ml sparkling mineral water
- 225 gr. sugar
- 200 gr. peeled, finely chopped ginger
- Lime juice (a few drops)

Preparation:
Bring the filtered water to boil. Add ginger into the water once it starts to boil. Reduce heat and let cook for 5 minutes. Then, set aside for 20 minutes.
