Today’s Tasty Pick: Asanda’s Winter Ginger Beer

Olay Olay fam! Happy Wednesday!

I hope everyone is warm, alive, and wearing your warmest coats and jerseys. If you are at home, please stay close to the heater. Don’t be brave. Winter is moving around like it pays rent here.

Now that I have officially arrived, we can begin today’s very important daily food meeting.

Today’s superstar is: Asanda’s Winter Ginger Beer.

Guys, this cold is not joking with us at all. It did not come here to make friends. It came here to humble us, freeze our toes, and make us spend our last money buying medication endlessly. So today, we are not eating in this house… we are drinking.

But honestly, I must give this weather a little credit because it is what inspired me to make today’s star of the show.

So come with me and let me show you how to make today’s cosy little lifesaver!

How to make Asanda’s Winter Ginger Beer

Ingredients:

• 4 cups water
• 1 large piece fresh ginger (peeled & grated)
• Juice of 1 orange
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 2–3 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
• 1 cinnamon stick
• Pinch of cloves or nutmeg
• Ice (optional if serving chilled later)

Method:

1. Build the warmth:
   In a pot, add:
   *Water
   *Grated Ginger
   *Cinnamon Stick
   *Cloves/Nutmeg
   Bring to a gentle boil.
2. Let it simmer: Reduce heat and simmer for about 15–20 minutes so the ginger becomes strong and fragrant.
