Homemade Ginger Beer

If you're as much of a fan of Moscow Mules and Dark & Stormies as I am, then you know how expensive it is to buy ginger beer.  It's roughly $7 for a four pack of bottles.  That's more expensive than regular beer!  So I was super excited when a friend of mine told me it was super easy to make my own ginger beer.  He directed me to this recipe by Tori Avey.  I gave it a go, and was pleasantly surprised by how delicious and fizzy it was.  And since it cost me roughly $1-$2 to make two whole liters, I'll be making my own ginger beer from here on out. :)
