GINGER POP

The Good Housekeeping Woman's Home Cook Book
Isabel Gordon Curtis, Associate Editor of Good Housekeeping (1909)


GINGER POP

To two gallons of lukewarm water allow two pounds of white sugar, two lemons, one tablespoon of cream of tartar, a cup of yeast and two ounces of white ginger root, bruised and boiled in a little water to extract the strength.

Pour the mixture into a stone jar and let stand in a warm place for twenty-four hours, then bottle.

The next day it will be ready to "pop."
