Ingredients

Recipe Description: 

When the weather gets chilly, warm up with this naturally sweetened beverage.  Fresh ginger, rich in gingerol, has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.  It is also a great tonic for indigestion and helps to settle digestion.  If you are lucky enough to live in an area where apples are grown look for locally made apple cider.
