So i have the stomach flu and am in a hotel. I broke down and had a couple oz of diet ginger ale.. But does anyone know how to make homemade ginger ale

I hope you feel better. The flu just ran through my house. I am not sure if we are done with it yet

Obviously you'd want to skip the simple syrup and sugar
Homemade Ginger Ale Recipe

INGREDIENTS
Ginger water
1 cup peeled, finely chopped ginger
2 cups water
Simple Syrup
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
Club soda
Lime juice
Lime wedges
METHOD
1 Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan. Add ginger. Reduce heat to medium low and let ginger sit in the simmering water for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 20 minutes. Strain liquid through a fine mesh strainer. Discard ginger pieces.
2 In a separate saucepan, make the Simple Syrup by dissolving 1 cup granulated sugar into 1 cup of boiling water. Set aside.
3 Make individual (tall) glasses of ginger ale by mixing 1/2 cup of ginger water with 1/3 cup of Simple Syrup and 1/2 cup of club soda. Add a few drops of fresh lime juice and a lime wedge to each glass.
Makes four servings.

See if there is a drug or food store around and get ginger tea and mix it with club soda. I never grink ginger ale when I feel ill, only ginger tea. I have also bought ginger root and chewed on it (WARNING it's very strong).

When I was nauseous during my 1st trimester I would grate fresh ginger in hot water to help settle things down.

I had the stomach flu a couple of days ago. My husband brought me ginger ale to drink and I did without really thinking about it. It was SO sweet...too sweet. I had a couple of sips and told him no thanks. So happy to know about the ginger tea. I'll get that for future use!

This is what I did and worked fantastic! I still do it when feeling nauseated.
