INGREDIENTS: * TEA TREE PRODUCTS
6 cups filtered water
1 cup ginger, with skin, roughly chopped
1/3 cup ~ Raspberry Balsamic Vinegar ~
1/4 cup ~ Maple Syrup ~
3 lemons, juiced (approximately 9 T)
DIRECTIONS:
Roughly chop the ginger, leaving the skin on. Add it to a pot with 6 cups of filtered water.
Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, continue to boil for 2-3 minutes.
Remove from the heat and allow the ginger water to steep for 20 minutes.
In a large pitcher, add the ~ Maple Syrup ~, ~ Raspberry Balsamic ~, and lemon juice.
Strain the ginger liquid into the pitcher and mix well.
Drink hot or cool to room temperature and pour over ice.
Once cooled, store the pitcher in the fridge. It should stay fresh for about a week.
Many of the balsamic vinegars from our shop are delicious in this recipe! Peach, Bourbon, a 50/50 mix of Raspberry/Bourbon are all flavors we’ve tried and LOVE. Pick your favorite and add it in place of the ~ Raspberry Balsamic ~ above.
For additional electrolytes and hydrating benefits, add 1 tsp of Celtic Sea Salt or Pink Himalayan salt to the pitcher after straining the warm ginger liquid. Mix well to dissolve the salt.
