2 servings
- 2 cups water
- 1 medium apple, cored and thinly sliced (any sweet variety such as fuji or honeycrisp)
Ingredient noteLow residue diets limit raw fruit and fruit skins. The apple here is used for flavor and strained out, so it is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid apple, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 ceylon cinnamon stick
- 3 slices fresh ginger (each about ¼ inch thick)
Ingredient noteLow Residue diets limit fibrous roots like ginger, but only a small slice flavors the whole recipe, which is a trace per serving, so it is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tbsp honey, or to taste
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice (optional)
Ingredient noteLow residue diets limit the fiber in fruit. Juice has almost none of it and this recipe uses only about 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice per serving, so a pulp-free juice here is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid lemon juice, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
Instructions
- 1
Combine the water, apple slices, Ceylon cinnamon stick, and ginger in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low.
- 2
Simmer uncovered for 12–15 minutes, until the liquid is fragrant and takes on a light amber color from the apple and cinnamon.
