Step

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. (5 minutes)

05

Continue to simmer, covered, until the bratwurst are cooked through and plump, about 15 minutes, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking. (15 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the bratwurst in a pan with a little oil before simmering them in the ginger ale mixture.
Serve with your favorite mustard and a side of crusty bread for soaking up the delicious sauce.
Adjust the amount of black pepper to your preference. A pinch of red pepper flakes can also add a subtle kick.
If you like more sweetness you can add a tablespoon of brown sugar
