This Ginger beer is very famous in Africa, especially in the Western regions. This recipe could be fermented or matured for a few hours, but I made it the unfermented version.
It is typically made up of pounded ginger roots and lime mixed with water and sugar, but I found this mildly fruit-flavored ginger beer recipe that really fascinated me.
The sweetness of the pineapple with the spicy ginger almost reminded me of the sugarcane juice that I used to drink back in India. People give this drink to children to cure minor stomach ailments. Some also use a bit of peppercorn in the drink, but I did not use that here. It is fun to sip this Non-alcoholic ginger beer throughout the meal.
