Ginger Beer Rules!

Today we made ginger beer. First we washed our hands. We started making ginger beer by dissolving sugar and boiling water. Then we added 12 cups of cold water and the fluid from our ginger beer bug. It was cool.

A Big Big Thank you to Mrs Webb for helping us today. Thanks to the Leadbeater's for the lemons too.
