How can I strengthen a ginger drink?

Asked by XOIIO (18328points) January 29th, 2011

I love the Real Brew ginger drink, it has japanese and chinese ginger. When I first tried it, It would burn my throat, but now I am used to it. How can I make it really strong? Would plain ginger extract work?

@longtresses Not bad, but I can’t order online and I haven’t seen anything like this around.

You could juice your own ginger root.

Or you could try an Asian food store. They usually carry things like minced up garlic, ginger, chillies and the like.

So, pop that baby in the freezer and cut off bits as you need it.

If you have a Jamaican grocery or restaurant in your town, odds are good that they make their own ginger beer. Or you could always make it yourself.

Here is an essential oil that you can add
you have to scroll down to the Ginger.
Doterra oils are great because their purity is checked with GCMF and most can be taken internally.

Ginger root eo is disgusting. I don’t recommend it.

I agree. It’s got a taste that is much more earthy than ginger.

You could always steep some powdered ginger in your drinks; powdered packs much more punch than fresh. Many Asian stores carry a pretty potent ginger tea powder, although it can be hard to find one with no added sugar.

Get powdered ginger at a health food store such as a co-op, or worse, Whole Foods Market.
