As always Barbara Ann,

you are a big help. My pain is in my legs and joints from my waist down. I

have told my doctors over and over they don't seem interested. To give you an

idea of the spacey people I deal with - I went for so I thought a routine

visit. Get to clinic they just want labs. Haven't seen my doctors for a

month, Nurse calls this afternoon to tell me my labs then goes on to tell me

I haven't seen the doctors in a while like I am the one in avoidance. They do

this to me allllllllll of the time. I never know for sure if I have an

appointment or not. I thought brain fog was a treat. Well my clinic is

causeing me to be mentally ill. Then the social worker catches me in the hall

to ask me why I don't go to support group meetings. Again they never tell me

when they are, and most of the meetings are when I have a doctor appointments

I don't know I have. Frustration is a common word in my vocabulary anymore.

Anyway I tried to tell the social worker about you guys and he just couldn't

comprehend how this group is so much better. Thankyou for the web site will

check it out.

Really, it's easy. Like making lemonade. This is the recipe (yes I know

sugar is an avoid):

three or four large fresh ginger roots (not ground ginger)

juice of two limes (or similar amount of lemon, pineapple, or

grapefruit juice)

one cup sugar

6 cups water

Carefully remove and discard the ginger root's outer layer. Pound

the ginger root to a pulp and place in a large ovenproof glass mixing

bowl or stainless steel container.

In a teakettle heat six cups of water to a boil. Pour water over

the ginger, cover with a lid or a clean cloth. Put the mixture in a warm

place. A sunny spot on a tabletop in front of a window is a good place

on a hot day; an oven that has been slightly heated then turned off is a

good place on a cold day. Wait one hour.

Place a clean cheesecloth or a paper towel (I used a coffee filter) in a

strainer and pour

the the mixture through it into a large jar or pitcher (or two jars or

pitchers as necessary). Squeeze the cloth to extract all the liquid from

the ginger root. Mix in the citrus juice and sugar. Fill the

jar with lukewarm water to make a gallon. Return the mixture to a warm

spot and wait another hour.

Strain the ginger beer once more and refrigerate until chilled.

Serve over ice.

I found it to be very strong so I added more lime juice. If it's still too

strong, you can dilute it with your favorite fruit juice.

Ginger Root

OK Guys. I made some ginger beer from a recipe I got from the group. It's

not alcoholic and is more like root beer. Anyway, I noticed that when I drank

about 8 OZ, I really noticed a feeling of well being after about 10 minutes.

Like a shot of energy. I know it's a beneficial but I was surprised at how

good I felt after drinking it. Now I drink it every day. My research says

that

it aids digestion, lowers blood pressure, and bolsters the immune system.

Any ideas on why it packs this punch?

I just know that South Africans are a very robust and healthy lot and

gingerbeer is the traditional refreshing drink there.

Please do not compare it with that awful tasting rootbeer stuff yeach :-)))

In SA people lucky enough to have a cellar are sought after for making

gingerbeer and biltong. (Basements are not normal there as nobody has

furnaces and such and there are no hurricanes and tornados to hide from

- just sunshine)

Here in USa there is one brand you can buy but not a nice one.

Home-made is way better. I like it with a dash of lemon juice.

Many a bottle has exploded in my gran's cellar because it was tucked

away and forgotten by mistake. The usual approach is to include a raisin

and then when the yeast has made enough fizz, the raisin floats, and it

is ready to drink. Best served with midsummer lunch on the river bank,

served " bitterly cold " , with a great braaivleis of steak, pine-ring or

bolitus mushrooms and watermelon :-) Or it goes well with a spicy curry

and rice too.

If you find Stoney brand ginger beer commercially made, it is better

than most.

When I moved to USA there was a handful of things I really really

thought I could not live without here. Gingerbeer was one of them.

Namaste,

IRene

LOL-Hey, it's fine. Like a glass of lemonade. Just can't figure out where

the rush is coming from. Did you notice a bite that burned your throat a

little? I tamed it by diluting it with other juice.

Sounds easy. I think I will try it. I suppose you could use stevia or some

other natural sugar substitute.

All sweetners are avoids to me so I just cheat with sugar or honey. It's got

a bite so you'll need something sweet to offset it.

You could use carbonated water like soda or seltzer water though you wouldn't

get the yeast taste with it.

Max - It seems like this is " flat " gingerbeer?

Not the traditional kind with plenty of fizz? No yeast?

Looks an easy enough recipe however.

Serious gingerbeer fanatics in South Africa make it with fizz,

and technically I suppose you can get a bit of alcohol if you leave it

long enough - the yeast will start to convert sugar to alcohol

eventually. But as kids we drank the stuff all day long once it had

enough fizz and so it could not have had significant alcohol content.

It was considered non-alcoholic. (FAmily I grew up with would have

freaked at a molecule of alcohol.)

Here's a " more serious " recipe using a demijohn - but you could adapt it

for individual bottles too.

Ye Olde Ginger Beer Recipe

Ingredients

* Two lemons

* 450gms sugar

* 8 pints (4.4litres) of water (enough to fill a demi-john)

* Flat teaspoonful of Dried Yeast

* 100gm Fresh root ginger

* Two heaped tea spoons of tartaric acid (Cream of Tartar)

Equipment

* A large pan that can boil four and a half litres of water

* A jug

* A glass

* A coarse cheese grater

* A wooden spoon

* A 1 gallon demijohn (a glass bottle with handles traditionally

used in winemaking)

* A bubble seal for the demijohn

* A lemon juicer

* A lemon zester

* A fine sieve

* 9 glass or plastic bottles of 500ml volume with screw caps (eg

plastic coke bottles)

Method

1. Put 8 pints of water in the large pan and bring it to the boil

2. While the water is coming to the boil...

* scrape the zest from one of the lemons

* grate the ginger on the coarse cheese grater

* add the sugar to the ginger and lemon zest in a bowl

* cut the lemons in half and squeeze the juice into the jug

* add the tartaric acid to the lemon juice

* put the yeast into some warm water with a little sugar in a glass

3. When the water has boiled ....

* add the sugar, ginger and lemon zest to the water, turn off the

heat and stir

* allow the water to cool to roughly blood heat, stirring occasionally

* add the lemon juice and tartaric acid to the water

* add the yeast mixture

4. Use the jug to pour the mixture into the demi-john

5. Seal the demijohn with the bubble seal (I use salt in the water to

sterilise the seal)

6. Stand the demijohn in a warm place for 48 hrs at a bubble rate of

40/minute

7. After 48 hrs pour the mixture through the sieve into the jug and fill

the bottles leaving an air gap for the pressure to build up in. Screw

the caps tightly onto the bottles (8 pints (4.5l) should fill 9 bottles)

8. Leave the bottles at room temperature for 24 hrs (to generate the fiz)

9. Put the bottles in the fridge for 2-3 days to allow the yeast to

settle (failure to do this may result in an explosion!)

To drink Glass of gingerbeer

1. Open the bottles slowly to release the gas

2. Pour the whole of a bottle into glasses, as any gingerbeer remaining

in the bottle will contain quite a lot of yeast.

3. Drink

The ginger beer made this way should be fizzy and fairly sweet.

If you ferment the mixture in the demijohn for longer than 48 hrs then

you are not just making fixxzz - the yeast will look for something else

to eat and will start to convert sugar to alcohol making it less sweet.

What *I* need is gingerbeer for diabetics.

Um.

Namaste,

Irene

I know - it's just I especially hate root beer taste and that sure would

put me off trying gingerbeer if that was the " incentive " :-)))

Gingerbeer taste is more like lemonade taste than rootbeer taste - with

a slight ginger flavoured bite.

hi guys,

have a question. the last couple days ive been drinking tea with a piece of

ginger root in it. i love it, my stomach is much calmer (pms, gas, upset tummy).

i looked under drug interactions at walgreens and it said contact your

pharmacist. i did and he couldnt find anything, although it only had ginger

capsules on there. putting some ginger root in tea wont do any harm with

gleevec, will it? any input or info would be appreciated. i'm still doing good,

pcr neg for 7 years now. hope youre all doing good. love you, gina demase. you

can e mail me privately at ginademase@...

thanks

Marcia,I think I know what u are talking about. Not sure, but can I get a piece of ginger at the market and grind with one of the kitchen tools and eat it like that. Or, do I boil it, I heard you can drink it like tea, not that is a good idea. Boiling it and drinking it like tea, but of course, no sugar allowed.tx Sharon from Beantown!From: Marcia Weatherholt-Bernhardt <mwassoc@...> Sent: Thu, December 2, 2010 12:06:01 PMSubject: Re: [ ] Sick from Stress
