Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

4.5 litres of water
250g fresh ginger, peeled and finely sliced

A handful of raisins
15g instant dried yeast

In a large saucepan bring the water to the boil, add the ginger and sugar, remove from the heat and leave to cool until just lukewarm.

Add the raisins and stir in the yeast, cover with clingfilm and leave in the fridge for 2 days.

Strain the liquid and transfer to sterilised bottles with tight-fitting lids. Refrigerate for 2 days before serving.

Serve with a squeeze and a wedge of lime.
