Mom’s Ginger Beer

  1. Mix all ingredients together, until sugar is dissolved.

  2. Pour into glass bottles using a funnel, until about 7/8 full.

  3. Drop 2 – 3 raisins in each bottle. Screw tops on.

  6. It will keep for quite a few days in the fridge, but it does get stronger as time goes by!
