Ingredients
-
4 teaspoons
apple cider vinegar (I like the unfiltered stuff best, like Bragg’s)
-
4 tablespoons
pure maple syrup
-
Fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced—as much as you want. I usually slice up a piece the size of my thumb.
-
4 cups
water
Directions
-
Combine all ingredients in a large jar. Shake to combine thoroughly, then refrigerate at least 12 hours. To serve, strain into glasses filled with ice—or heat it and drink as a tea.
