How to Make Homemade Sugar Free Ginger Beer
Traditional ginger beer is fermented, and the fermentation process takes sugar. Sugar free ginger beer is also alcohol free, and it has a different taste than the traditional drink. It is a drink you can share with your kids, and is a good alternative to other kinds of soda. It is also a good thing to drink when you have the flu, since the soda bubbles and ginger root are very soothing for the stomach.

Instructions
-
Grate or dice about two tablespoons of ginger as finely as possible. Put it in a small jar.
-
Squeeze a lemon into the bottom of the jar. Leave it soaking for about an hour to let the ginger soak in to the lemon juice.
-
Strain the lemon juice through filter paper into a large mason jar. Add seltzer water to fill it up.
-
Add the sweetener of your choice. Xylitol and aspartame both taste pretty good with ginger beer. Stevia also works and is a good all-natural alternative. Some people like a very sweet ginger beer, while others prefer less sweetness.

Pour and drink up. Screw the cap on when you're done to keep the ginger beer from going flat.
