GINGER WINE
At New Year, not everyone takes an alcoholic drink and when I was young we felt very grown up being given Ginger Wine. Thumbing through pages of a recipe book even older than me revealed this tradi�onal recipe if you would like to give it a try. The ingredients are also s�ll generally available and it is very simple to do.
