This refreshing sparkling ginger soda—inspired by Stoney Tangawizi, a spicy ginger beer popular throughout East Africa—features plenty of lime juice and salt to balance out the sweet heat and mild burn from a heavy dose of fresh ginger. Don’t be tempted to strain the syrup early; letting the smashed ginger pieces steep in the residual heat ensures maximum fiery goodness.
