Ginger Beer for Soldier Bob

The Wrens received a message from a soldier from the Crimean War:

 Bob and his soldiers were suffering from tummy aches and needed
 us to make something to help them feel better.
 
What would Mary Seacole do?

We decided to make them some ginger beer!

First we needed to grate the ginger root very carefully:







Next we added some sugar:







More grating! This time it was the lemons:

Everyone enjoyed giving the mixture a good bash!

We squeezed the juice out of the lemons too:

 

 Time to pour in some soda water:






Give it all a good stir and leave for 10 minutes:



We all tasted it when it was ready:






Lots of us really enjoyed it and thought it might help the soldiers feel better.



Luke wasn't too sure at first, but then asked for more!



Josh's was gone in seconds!

We have written out the instructions needed to make this delicious drink in our writing books.
