I tried my own experiment once. I have a Green Life juicer that will
make juice out of nearly anything you put in it.

So, I juiced a ginger root. I recall it produced less than an ounce of
juice.

I mixed in some stevia powder for sweetening (stevia, in my opinion, is
the best sweetener for liquids; natural and sugar-free, and 1/2 teaspoon
is about like a cup of sugar).

Then I poured this into a quart of sparkling water. I should have
filtered the ginger juice through a coffee filter first, because the
particulates in it induce the gas in the water to bubble out.

The result was tasty, but that small amount of ginger juice could
have easily made twice as much of my "ginger ale." As it was it was
VERY strong. It had almost a painful "bite" to it.
