Peaches loves gingerale, especially with cranberry juice, so I decided to try making it myself. This recipe gets his seal of approval — it tastes great, gingery and lightly carbonated.

Ingredients:

• 3/4 tablespoons grated fresh ginger root
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon active dry yeast
• Juice of half a lemon
• water

Directions:

1. Pour ginger, sugar, yeast, and lemon juice into an empty 1-liter container, and fill the rest with water.

2. Screw on the cap on as tightly as possible. Shake the bottle well, and leave at room temperature for two days.

3. Refrigerate. To serve, pour through a tea strainer.
