ABOUT
This traditional beverage, which originated in the mid-1700s in England, has been used for thousands of years. It was first known as a fermented alcoholic beverage made from sugar, ginger, water, and a starter culture known as ginger beer plant (we call this the “ginger bug”). Most Ginger Beers you find in the store these days have sadly been pasteurized, loaded with sugars and skipped out on the whole fermentation process, making them more of a ‘pop’ than a traditional, fermented, healthy, probiotic beverage.
Although it was considered an alcoholic beverage, our fermentation process does not allow it to become alcoholic (although with all fermentation there will be trace amounts of alcohol). All of our blends are consider non-alcoholic however great to use in mixes! Check out our Botanical Drink Recipes for some inspiration.
What makes our Ginger Beer so special is that it has two beautiful fermentation processes, blended together, allowing us to consider this powerful drink as a “Ginger Elixir.” Using two fermentation processes, increases the nutrient-dense quality of this drink and drastically increases the amount of probiotics and digestive enzymes comparably to it’s other fermented beverage friends such as Kombucha and Jun. Due to most Kombucha and Jun recipes using caffeinated teas and being sweetened with fruit juices, our Ginger Elixer beverage is a better alternative for those people looking for a caffeine-free probiotic beverage that is lower in sugar. With our dual-fermentaiton process, our elixir tends to have very little sugar quantities, higher amounts of bacteria strains and has other healing properties based on the flavour you choose (see below for a list of our seasonal flavours).

HOW TO HANDLE
- Ideally, this fermented beverage should be consumed within 1 week of opening.
- THIS PRODUCT MUST BE REFRIGERATED AT ALL TIMES as it is a living, unpasteurized, raw, fermented beverage. If kept at room temperature for too long, continual fermentation could happen and increased carbonation could cause the bottle to burst.
- USE CAUTION WHEN OPENING. High carbonation is natural in the fermentation process and can cause the product to get extra feisty when opening.
