Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Apple juice
- 0.5 cups Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 4 pieces Whole cloves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, thinly sliced
- 2 pieces Lemon slices
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the apple juice, lemon juice, honey, and water. Stir until the honey dissolves.
Add the cinnamon stick, whole cloves, and sliced fresh ginger into the mixture.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the liquid to a gentle simmer. Do not allow it to boil.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for 10-15 minutes to allow the spices to infuse their flavors.
Add the lemon slices to the saucepan during the last 5 minutes of cooking for an extra citrusy aroma.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a heatproof pitcher or pot to remove the spices and ginger slices.
Taste the appleade and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if desired.
Serve hot in mugs, and garnish with a slice of lemon or a cinnamon stick for a festive touch.
