Ingredients
Method
- STEP 1
You must sterilise your jars before you start and you will need to check your ferment every day for four to five days.
- STEP 2
Juice the lemons and pour the juice through a sieve. Combine the lemon juice, ginger, whey and sugar in a 3-litre sterilised jar and top up with mineral water, leaving 2.5cm at the top of the jar. Give it a good shake and leave it at room temperature for two days, releasing gas as you need to by releasing then refastening the lid.
- STEP 3
After this time, decant it into glass bottles, adding a little of the ½ tbsp sugar to each. Seal and ferment for a further two to three days (burping every day) until you see bubbles. Put in the fridge to stop any further fermentation. Will keep in the fridge for a week.
