Here are the links to directions for making homemade ginger ale and rootbeer. I haven't tried them yet, I still have to get the extracts to try it. This might be a fun activity for homeschoolers or to do with the kids.

Here's another recipe for Ginger Ale Syrup

I snagged it from nifty thrifty things blog, I haven't tried this yet so can't be sure of the flavor.


INGREDIENTS
1 cup thinly sliced fresh ginger
2 cups water
2 cups sugar
limes (optional)




PREPARATION
Bring the sugar and water to a boil and let simmer until the sugar dissolves. Stir occasionally. Add the cut ginger and let simmer for about 15 minutes.

Let cool slightly before straining the syrup into a bottle or jar with a lid.
Add the syrup to a glass of club soda, squeeze in a lime wedge and voilà - yummy ginger ale!
