Making homemade probiotic sodas with a ginger bug

You'll need to make a ginger bug here:
- 150g of water
- equal parts, chopped ginger and sugar
Start with 2 tbsp of ginger and sugar, then every day for 5 days, add equal parts water and sugar until it fizzes. It takes 5 days to a week, but once the mixture is bubbling, it will be ready to use.
To make probiotic sodas, add a sugary drink like apple juice or raspberry iced tea to a jar and the ginger bug. Over the next 5 days, the ginger bug will eat the sugars and make it fizzy.

Can I add cold green tea to the ginger bug instead?

[@mahnoorhamayun2662]

Or does it have to be a sugary drink? I’m trying to look out for low calories. Thanks

Does honey work instead of sugar and could you please make a video(experiment) if it does ? Thanks 👍🏽

[@whatWilleats]

Will do

You said like a sourdough starter. Are you using any yeast, or just natural fermentation?

[@whatWilleats]

Natural fermentation

I can’t get my ginger bug to start. Are you using regular or organic ginger?

[@whatWilleats]

I'm using regular ginger, but are you including the ginger skin?

[@r6y7a8n]

@@whatWilleats I was yeah! It would bubble on day 2 and then day 3,4 and 5 was nothing

[@whatWilleats]

@@r6y7a8n Oh that's really interesting - maybe try using organic ginger? I would also say feed your ginger with more sugar.

Same for me ​@@r6y7a8n

Do you really need to burp them?

[@whatWilleats]

They build up a lot of gas, so you need to burp them regularly to let it out.
I’ve had bottles that I’ve forgotten to burp for a few days and the liquid burst out once I opened them.
