4. Add half a cup of water into the cup with the ginger.
5. Add one tablespoon of sugar into the cup with the other ingredients.

Discussion:
What is Fermentation: Fermentation is the process of food processing in which` turned into alcohol by the action of microorganisms (yeast and bacteria) This process is used to make alcoholic beverages like beer, wine, and cider.
Explanation: Fermentation is a process that produces chemical changes in organic substances through the action of enzymes. In biochemistry, it is barely defined as the extraction of energy from Cx(H2O)y, the absence of O2.
What are enzymes? a substance produced by a living organism that acts as a catalyst to bring out specific reactions.
What are the best conditions for brewing? Normal beer fermentation temperatures are up to 20-22 degrees and lager (light-colored beer) fermentation temperatures are from 7-13 degrees. Keep it out of the light. especially if the fermentation dish is clear, but ideally keep it out of light. Light will make the alcohol stink. It's probably better if you have a closet or someplace else in the dark to ferment
Results:
although it smelt like diarrhea, it tasted very sour and disgusting, we all have similar tastes but two boys had better-tasted ones because I think of the amount of sugar they used.
