(Ginger ale, fermenting)Lisa, one of the women from Exxon, gave us a ginger ale recipe last time we were at MJ's house.
Today I went on an adventure to the Mercado Central with CM, TS, AM and SM. We successfully bought fresh ginger (called something like "cocobianco" here), yeast (levadura, which may also be the word for baking powder), and sugar (azucar). We successfully did not sell SM who was followed (and hung onto) by a ridiculously dressed man. He finally went away after several of us spoke sharply to him.
When we got home we made ginger ale. We also tried to make some orange ale. Now it is sitting on our kitchen table untill the bottles get hard enough that they don't dent when I squeeze them.

(Yeast, in a plastic bag so the humidity doesn't ruin it.)
(Grated ginger)
(AM juicing our unknown citrus fruit for the citrus drink.)
(CM shaking the almost finished product.)We used 1.5L bottles because that is what we buy our bottled water in. Click here for the recipe we used.
