Re: What to do with a LOT of ginger

[Guest guest]

Well, you could use it in Kombucha of course, and you can chop it up

in a food processor and freeze it and then add it to a stir fry, baked

goods, vegetables, asian meals, no end really to how it can be used.

There's a ton of recipies in the nourishing traditions cookbook.

You can make ginger ale or ginger tea.

Ginger Tea

1 tablespoon fresly grated ginger

4 cups filtered water

1 tablespoon raw honey

*Place Ginger in a teapot. Bing water to a boil and pour over ginger. Let stand

several minutes and stir in honey. Strain into teacups or mugs.

I havent made this myself yet but I tried a store bought version. It's good.

You'll like it if you can handel kombucha but there is a kick.

Ginger Ale

3/4 Cup ginger, peeled and finely chopped or grated.

1/2 Cup fresh lime juice

1/4-1/2 cup rapadura (evaporated cane juice)

2 teapoons sea salt

1/4 cup whey

2 quarts filtered water

*Place all ingredients in 2 quart jug. Stire well and cover tightly. Leave at

room temperature for 2-3 days before transferring to the refridgerator. This

will keep several months well chilled.

To serve strain into a glass.

Freeze it, if you have room.

I think there's a pickled ginger recipe in NT, or Wild Fermentation too, you

could put as much as you want into that.

or start a ginger beer culture, that's in Wild Fermentation.
