Don't tell me Coke & Pepsi and/or Seagram's, Schweppes. I called them to find out if it was in the "natural aroma or natural flavoring statement" and the customer service rep. couldn't give me a positive answer. To me that means "no real cola or ginger"
I'm asking this question because when your sick, ginger and cola are supposed to help with nausea.
Also - can anyone tell me how to make soda? Looking for easy receipes ~ how do I store the soda? please include the shelf life - when should it be used by and/or thrown out. Thanks

Oh, there was a show on the cooking channel not that long ago about making home made pop. They made a concentrated syrup of the flavours they wanted (simmer ginger slices in simple syrup - 1 part water 1 part sugar) and then you can either just add plain soda water (or tonic water) until it taste good, or you can purchase a small keg, add water and pump CO2 into the keg and chill it. The first idea with the soda water might be a better idea!
As for shelf life, it probably depends on how sugary you made it. I'd guess maybe a few weeks.
Don't try it with yeast, you'll end up with a beer like product, and the bottles could break in the refrigerator (this happened on this show I was mentioning earlier)

Ginger beer...nonalcoholic...has a slight burn when you drink it.
Schweppes used to make it and you could see flecks of ginger floating in the soda.

I believe the Jamaican ginger ale has real ginger.
Your soda:
