Banana Raisins Beer | Probiotic Drink | Fermented without sugar

This healthy probiotic drink recipe has no sugar, the bacteria feeds directly on the banana and raisins until the first round of fermentation is completed. Then, natural sweetener is added to taste. All of the natural nutrition value of the vitamins & enzymes still in the finished fermentation. This drink requires a ginger bug starter. Here’s how to make one.

If you have a ginger bug in your fridge but haven’t used it for a while, take it out and pour some away. Add a tbsp of unpeeled fresh ginger, and 1 tbsp of sugar and some filtered water to top it off, allow it to sit at room temperature until it is bubbling. This may take a couple of hours, but it feeds or “wakes up” the ginger bug. If you use your ginger bug about once a week then it will ready to use.
Ingredients
• 2 quarts (8 C) water, chlorine free
• 2 bananas
• ½ cup raisins
• 1/4 cup active ginger bug
• ¼ tsp Organic stevia powder* for sweetener after fermented if you prefer more sweets
• Sea salt (option)
Instructions:
1. Combine water with bananas, raisins and ginger bug
2. Cover with a cotton cloth or coffee filter
3. Put in a warm, dry & dark place to Ferment
4. Shake the jar 2 times/day
5. Banana liquid will become cloudy & bubbly after fermented for 8 hours.
6. The longer it sits for fermentation, the sourer will become depend on what level of sour you enjoy. Mine day 3 sour enough for me.
7. Strain mixture and add sweeteners* you prefer such as honey, maple syrup I prefer organic stevia powder and balance sweet & sour with Himalaya salt (sea-salt)
8. Fill up your bottles and jars leaving one inch headspace to allow for expansion.
1) If you use honey, maple syrup, let them fermented at room temp. for couple days until reached the carbonation level you prefer, then transfer to the fridge and Enjoy!!
2) If you use stevia powder* for sweetener, there is no need for a second fermentation because the stevia will not feed the bacteria. The finished beer (soda) will be a little fizzy & tangy, rich in banana taste, loaded with probiotics, vitamins, & enzymes. so at this point transfer to the fridge and enjoy

** Leftover bananas & raisins you can mix them in Smoothies for probiotic, or use them in baking recipe, I'm going to use them in fermented banana sourdough buns and put in the freezer for my quick breakfast.

Disclaimer: We are certainly not trying to make this banana beverage as alcoholic drink. But, there has been some research about ripe bananas containing up to .05g of alcohol per 100g of peeled banana. Please do your own research if you are concerned about the level of alcohol in either the process or finished product of this banana beverage.
In our recipe we try to focus on producing a healthy probiotic that contains less natural sugar by letting the bacteria consume the sugar. The final banana beverage does contain a small level of alcohol from the natural sugars in the bananas and raisins even though we don’t add any sugar to the recipe.
