LIBERIAN PINEAPPLE GINGER BEER
I love ginger beer! So when I found this I had to post it. I hope you enjoy! Ginger beer both tastes good and is good for you. Ginger root is high in vitamins K and B6 and also has magnesium. Ginger root is believed to relief symptoms of arthritis, motion sickness, nausea, gastrointestinal distress, and cold symptoms. Adapted from African Recipe Secrets. Liberia is in West Africa.

Steps:
- Wash the ginger root. Cut it into 1/2 " pieces.
- Move half of cut ginger into the blender. Add 1 cup of water. Cover and set blender to high. Blend until ginger coarsely chopped and mixed well into the water. Transfer this mixture to a large pot(8 quart).
- Repeat with the rest of the ginger. Add this mixture to the pot.
- Wash the pineapple. Use a sharp knife to remove the peeling. Slice the peeling off so that you also remove a half-inch of pineapple along with the skin.
- Cut the peeling into one-inch pieces. Transfer half of the cut pineapple peeling to the blender. Add 1 cup of water and blend on high until pineapple is in small pieces and mixed in the water. Move to the pot of ginger.
- Repeat with the rest of the cut pineapple. Add to the mixture in the pot.
- Add 10 more cups of water to the pot. Half-cover the pot with the top. Bring to a boil on high and boil on medium for about 30 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the stove. Cover the pot completely and allow the mixture to sit for 8 hours or overnight at room temperature.
- Pour the mixture through a metal strainer to remove the larger pieces of ginger and pineapple peel. Use a wooden spoon to press the liquid through the strainer.
- Use a clean cotton kitchen cloth(or clean wash cloth) to strain out the finer particles. Use your hand to squeeze the ginger beer out of the cloth.
- To sweeten, first add 1 cup of sugar and stir. Add more sugar to desired taste. Chill and enjoy.
- Store in the fridge.

PINEAPPLE BEER FROM LIBERIA
Pineapple beer, like ginger beer, is more of an occasion African beverage. They are usually served at special gatherings like weddings and parties. This tropical fruit contains the antioxidant Vitamin C. It also contains bromelian. Bromelian is a mixture of enzymes that help to breakdown the amino acids in proteins. So,it's also great for indigestion. It's a good natural anti-inflammatory so it relieves arthritis. In addition, the juice is good for dissolving mucus. In fact, it used to be used in recovery from tuberculosis. Pineapple will even relieve a sore throat and bronchitis. It is thought to speed up coagulation of the blood. This is good for your heart. But too much of it is probably not a good idea for people with hemophilia, or those with kidneys or liver disease. From Liberia. From Sonia at African-Recipes-Secrets.com

Steps:
- Wash the pineapples. Use a sharp knife and cutting board to remove the peeling. Cut into one-inch pieces.
- Transfer to a deep pot. I use an 8 quart pot.
- Use the knife to slice the pineapple off the core. Discard the core. Dice into one-inch pieces. Add to pot.
- Add enough water to the pot to cover the pineapple. Bring to a boil on high and boil on medium-high until the pineapple and skin are soft and mushy.
- Remove the pot from the stove. Cover the pot completely and allow the mixture to sit for 8 hours or overnight at room temperature.
- Pour the mixture through a metal sifter to remove the larger pieces of pineapple peel. Use a cook spoon to press help force the liquid through the sifter.
- Next, Use a clean cotton kitchen cloth to strain out the finer particles. You will have to use your hand to squeeze the pineapple beer out of the cloth.
- To sweeten, first melt sugar over low heat. Add the melted sugar and mix well. I recommend adding a half cup of the melted sugar at a time, until it is sweetened to your taste. Cut and squeeze lime. Add to juice. Chill and enjoy. Store in the fridge.
- *Tips:.
- Make sure to buy the pineapple ripe. Pineapple is one of those fruits that does not ripen or sweeten if it is picked green.
- I determine the ripeness of a fresh pineapple by the smell. You can't always go by the color because color may vary. A ripe pineapple will have a fresh, tropical smell. If it smells unpleasant or has soft and dark spots, it is bad.
- Store your pineapple at room temperature so that it keeps the sweet and tangy flavor.

HOMEBREW GINGER BEER
I've developed this recipe over a long period of time, but it's all flexible... start with this recipe, and develop it on your own. Variations abound. NOTE: I always make this recipe in 2 Litre plastic water bottles. Some people say you shouldn't do this, but I have no idea why - always works perfectly for me.

Steps:
- Take about a half-cup of warm water, and mix with sugar. Then sprinkle yeast on top. Let sit.
- Boil about 2 litres of water.
- Peel the ginger root and cut into smaller pieces.
- When water has been brought to a boil, add the ginger root, cloves, and anise. I like to put the cloves in a small tea ball so i can remove them easily later.
- Boil for 30 minutes. Then remove ginger root and cloves.
- Dissolve 3/4 - 1 cup of sugar in the brew.
- Let the brew cool until it is tepid (ie won't kill the yeast). Then add they yeast mixture to it.
- Now pour the mixture into a 2 litre plastic bottle. Top up with water. Make sure you leave between 5-8cm of air in the top. Play with this amount -- you'll find you get more pressure if you leave the air inches.
- Now leave in a warmish place for about 1 day. Watch it carefully the first time - wait until the pressure has built up, then refrigerate.
- Leave in the fridge for at least 2 days. If you leave it in longer, you'll get more pressure -- I usually leave it at least 2 weeks, but it can stay in there for 2 months. Still, it will continue to gain pressure in the refrigerator.
- When you open the bottle, be very CAREFUL! The pressure should be very high by this time. It's best to do it over the sink or outside, and do NOT aim at anyone! If you cover the cap while you open it, it will muffle the "pop". Instead, don't cover the top of the cap, but only touch the sides of the cap while you open it. In this way, it will fire like a gun.
- If you've got good pressure, it will bubble out like champagne, so have glasses on hand ot pour right away!
