Thought I'd check before I tried it haha!

Obviously not in the tin but is it safe to microwave it to warm it up, in need of a bit of a hot toddy though minus the alcohol. Got some honey and lime to squeeze in.

Why not just tip it into a saucepan and warm it through that way?

it might foam up a bit as it heats...safer in a saucepan I would have thought.

Looks like a saucepan it is. Not sure if I even have a small saucepan as can't really do much cooking usually but will have a look.

I was hoping for the quick and easy answer :)

I saw the question in latest posts and wondered what nut job wanted to heat up Ginger Beer. It is all making sense now!

Enjoy your drink and I hope that you are feeling bouncy and healthy soon.

Of course,it's safe...it's basically water with a bit of carbon dioxide dissolved in it. Do it on half power for longer if you're still unsure!

Thanks Wolf haha! I have a microwavable cup so would be easier to use that then a bit saucepan. I might give it a go and abort at any sign of trouble!

I half remembered something about not microwaving lemonade as it might explode, whether that is true or not though or an urban legend I'm not sure.

^^^ it would explode only if in a sealed container (can or bottle)...not in an open vessel.
