Ingredients
- 1 cup apple cider no added sugar
- 1 Tbsp fresh ginger root grated
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 2 cloves optional
- 1 cup ice
- ½ cup plain sparkling water
- ¼ apple sliced
Instructions
- Use a microplane grater to carefully grate the fresh ginger root. If you don't have a microplane grater, use a knife to mince the ginger finely.
- Add apple cider, freshly grated ginger, cinnamon sticks, and cloves (if using) to a small pot. Bring to a gentle boil for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it sit to "steep" and cool to room temperature.
- Remove the cinnamon sticks from the apple cider mixture. Using a fine mesh strainer, carefully strain the mixture into a tall glass to remove the chunks of ginger.
- Add ice and sparkling water to the glass. Gently stir to incorporate.
- Top with fresh sliced apple, and enjoy!
