how to prepare

Combine the fruit and vinegar in a large jar, tightly screw on the lid, and shake vigorously for 10 seconds. Let infuse for one week at room temperature, shaking daily. Strain the juice through a double layer of cheesecloth and funnel into a clean glass bottle. Add sugar and shake to combine. Refrigerate for one week before using, shaking daily until sugar has fully dissolved. Use within 2-3 weeks.

Ginger Wort:

Bring the water to a boil, then pour over ginger and sugar in shatter-resistant, nonreactive container (like glass, ceramic, or stainless steel). Cover for 90 minutes, then strain through a fine mesh strainer, pressing the ginger to extract as much liquid as possible. Finally, add the lime juice, bottle, and refrigerate. Use within 2-3 weeks.
