This recipe uses all natural ingredients, so you can enjoy all the good stuff that ginger and lemon have to offer without any weird additives. My family is totally obsessed with this homemade ginger ale – once you try it, you will be too!

I love being able to give my kids something they enjoy that’s also good for them. So why not give it a go? Trust me, your taste buds (and your body) will thank you!
If you find the ginger taste in the homemade ginger ale to be too strong for your liking, don’t worry! You can easily adjust the recipe to your taste. Simply add more sparkling water to dilute the ginger flavor, and a little more stevia or maple syrup to balance the sweetness. Don’t be afraid to experiment and find the perfect balance for you.
