It is more like a beaker It has fancy flexible gaskets to keep all the air in/out. Yeah, it’s fancy but in the end I guess it is a jar with a mesh strainer. Lol.
I just took some ginger out of my freezer stash (I got a couple of kilos of young locally grown ginger a while ago) grated it up and then filled the container with water. I filled the stainless steel strainer part about 3/4 with ginger but by the time I ran water over it it squished down to, like, a third. Then I put it in the refrigerator overnight. The resulting ginger water is nicely gingery/pale yellow but doesn’t … hurt. A half cup of loosely packed ginger to a liter of water?
I usually make ginger tincture, which is grated ginger in a jar covered with vodka and left for several months. That also is good.
To add feebly to the original purpose of this thread, I have lost 4 pounds in the last week, which COINCIDES with drinking ginger water but also with my second 48 hour fast so that confounds it.
