Ginger Ale

I need to make and firm up the instructions.
I have been wanting to make ginger ale again.  While looking for a recipe, I found one that doesn't use yeast.

I am copying from this site https://homebrewsupply.com/learn/all-natural-homebrewed-ginger-ale-with-a-ginger-bug.html

Make ginger bug
3T grated organic ginger.  Looks like it should be organic to keep the skin on.
3T sugar
2c water

Combine into fermenting vessel (I think I am going to use a quart size Chinese take out container). Cover loosely.

Add 1T of grated ginger and sugar every day for 5 days. Ready when bubbly.

If stored in the frig, feed every 3-4 weeks with 1T of grated ginger and sugar.

Prepare ginger bug for use
Let ginger bug warm up to room temp and add 1T grated ginger and sugar, and 1/4c water.

Make ginger tea
1-2 lemons (if available, try 1can of lemon aid concentrate)
2-4t grated ginger
1c sugar
1/2c ginger bug

Bring mixture to a boil and cook for 15min.
Remove from heat
Add 8c of ice water to the mixture and cool to 80F.
Strain mixture.
Add stirred ginger bug through a strainer.
