Bon Appe Keto Korean Style Ginger Beer
While true Ginger Beer’s origins are traced back to 18th century England, this recipe is a hybrid: combining the fizz of classic ginger beer with a Korean Ginger tea recipe. The inspiration for this approach came from a small Korean restaurant in downtown San Jose that serves a ginger concentrate you pour sparkling water into.

Instructions
Preparation
- Finely mince or grate fresh ginger. See how to clean, grate and weigh ginger root below.
- Boil in 2 cups of pure filtered water for 15 mins, or until water volume is reduced by half. Stirring occasionally.
- Strain ginger through cheesecloth, pressing out as much liquid and oils as possible — you may also use a fine mesh strainer and use a wooden spoon to mash the ginger (scraping off the fine ginger pulp from the underside of the strainer and mixing it into the liquid for a more pulpy ginger beer).
- Place liquid in refrigerator to cool for at least 10 minutes.
- Juice limes. Keep and mix in the pulp if desired.
- Combine by stirring the lime juice, Keto Honey and Granular Swerve into cooled ginger to make a syrup.
Refrigerator Storage
- Place Syrup in air-tight bottle. You can recycle a 1 Liter bottle or use 2 16oz water bottles, and refrigerate. This will keep fresh for up to 2 weeks.
- To drink: Pour 1/3 to 1/2 cup of syrup into tall glass and fill with 8-12oz of cold sparkling water. The "sparkling water" can be San Pellegrino, Perrier, from your Soda Stream, etc.
Freezer Storage
- Divide equally into 8 parts in Giant IceCube Tray. There should be 1/3 to 1/2 cup of syrup in each cube.
- Freeze
- Once set, remove cubes and place them in a plastic freezer bag or a freezer proof food storage container. This will keep for 8 weeks or longer in a frozen airtight container.
- To drink: thaw ginger syrup cube (in the refrigerator, the counter top in a glass, or in the microwave by heating on high for 20 seconds) and add 8-12oz of cold sparkling mineral water.
