Chef's tip
Use the same amount. Maple syrup is a little thinner and less sticky than honey.

For serving

2 thin apple slices, for garnish (optional)
2 small fresh peppermint sprigs, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the water, sliced apple, Ceylon cinnamon stick, and ground ginger in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, until the liquid is lightly golden and fragrant.
2
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the fresh peppermint leaves, pressing them gently into the liquid, and steep for 5 minutes.
