- 2 cups Apple cider
- 3 tablespoons Honey (or maple syrup for vegans)
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 3 slices Lemon slices

Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the fresh ginger root.
In a small saucepan, combine the water and sliced ginger. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and let it cook for 5 minutes to infuse the ginger flavor.
Remove the ginger water from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature. Strain the liquid to remove the ginger pieces and set it aside.

Add ice cubes to the pitcher to chill the lemonade.
Garnish the lemonade with lemon slices and mint leaves for added flavor and visual appeal.
Serve immediately in glasses filled with ice, or refrigerate the pitcher until ready to serve.
