Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) chilled natural ginger ale (e.g., Seagram’s or Canada Dry, without artificial sweeteners)
- 4 to 6 plain saltine crackers (unsalted or lightly salted preferred)
- Optional: thin slice of fresh ginger
- Optional: lemon wedge
Instructions
- Chill your ginger ale to about 1 cup (240 ml). If not chilled, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before preparing.
- Place 4 to 6 saltine crackers on a small plate or napkin.
- Optionally, add a thin slice of fresh ginger or a small wedge of lemon into the ginger ale and let it infuse for 1-2 minutes.
- Sip the ginger ale slowly, allowing the carbonation and ginger to soothe your stomach.
- Alternate sipping with small bites of saltine crackers to absorb excess stomach acid and provide gentle texture.
- Continue sipping and nibbling slowly for 10-15 minutes or until you feel relief. Do not rush.
- If ginger ale is too sweet or fizzy, dilute with a splash of water as needed.
Notes
Use natural ginger ale without artificial sweeteners for best results. Avoid stale crackers. Sip slowly to avoid bloating. Fresh ginger slice enhances soothing effect. Can dilute ginger ale with water if too sweet or fizzy. For gluten-free, substitute crackers with gluten-free crackers or rice cakes. Ginger ale can be gently warmed in colder months but avoid boiling.
