What's on the pass
-
Seven legs, one box a day
From Day 1, start your bug, to Day 8, pour. Every quantity and step from Ruby's Video 1.
-
The ratio
1 quart cooled sweet ginger tea + ¼ cup bubbly bug liquid. Write it down once and you have it for life.
-
Your safety briefing
Safe or toss at a glance, burping, the alcohol note, and "When in doubt, throw it out."
-
Connecting Flights
Five first flavors from one bug: lemon-ginger, pineapple peel, apple-cinnamon, strawberry and mint-lime.
Your carry-on
Your whole carry-on for Day 1: a pint glass jar, fresh ginger, plain white sugar, a clean spoon, a clean cloth and a rubber band, plus tape and a marker. That's it.
For bottling day you add a lemon and plain plastic soda bottles you can squeeze.
Meet Ruby
I'm Ruby Jarrett, a retired flight attendant. For 35 years I talked my way into grandmothers' kitchens on my layovers. Now I'm grounded on a Tennessee farmhouse with 40 jars on the counter, and I can't stand what the store charges for things Grandma Opal made from salt, sugar, water and scraps.
Ruby Jarrett is an AI-generated fictional character. Her stories are tall tales; the recipes are real.
