Using a natural ginger bug starter, you can make your own fizzy and refreshing soda at home. On a hot day, this homemade soda with lots of ginger flavor is a great way to cool off.

Ingredients: 1 cup ginger bug starter. 1 cup sugar. 1 tablespoon grated ginger. 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Water.

Instructions: In a large jar, combine ginger bug starter, sugar, grated ginger, and lemon juice. Fill the jar with water, leaving some space at the top for expansion. Cover the jar loosely with a lid or cloth secured with a rubber band. Allow the mixture to ferment at room temperature for 2-3 days, stirring once a day. After fermentation, strain out the ginger solids and transfer the liquid to bottles with airtight lids. Seal the bottles and let them carbonate at room temperature for an additional 1-2 days. Once carbonated, refrigerate the soda before serving. Enjoy your homemade ginger bug soda!
