Homemade ginger ale

Step 4 Put ingredients in bottle

To the empty 2L bottle, add:
--1c sugar (Again, taste comes into play. I like it less sweet, so I add ~ 3/4c. You may wish to add more or less depending on your personal taste. Add a full cup the first time you make it, and go from there).
--1/4 tsp yeast
--lemon juice
--grated ginger

If you're having difficulty with the sugar and juice, make a funnel out of a paper plate to pour everything in. Once everything's together, shake it around a little to distribute things.

If you're really paranoid about germs, you could prepare a weak bleach solution and rinse everything with it, but I don't see the point since you'll likely drink this before anything goes wrong. Just be sure to wash your hands before you touch stuff and you'll be fine (nothing adds tang like Clostridium!).

1c of sugar. Is this mean 1 Cup. Content in the bottle dose not look like you have 1 cup of sugar.

Yep, it's a cup of sugar. Some of it was dissolved by the lemon juice, so it might not look like a cup. You can also use up to half a cup less if you don't like it very sweet, but it will likely take longer to carbonate.
