2 servings
For the ginger syrup
- 1 cup coconut water
Ingredient noteOnly unpasteurized juice is a concern in pregnancy. Packaged juice and coconut water sold in stores is treated - if there is no "not pasteurized" warning on the label, it is fine.
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp honey
For the drink
- 1 cup fresh apple juice (pressed from sweet apples, not from concentrate)
- ¼ cup full-fat coconut milk
- ½ cup sparkling water
- 1 cup ice cubes
For serving
- 2 thin slices fresh apple, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Combine the coconut water, sliced ginger, and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the honey dissolves, then bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 3–4 minutes, until the liquid is fragrant and the ginger flavor is pronounced.

Remove from the heat and let the ginger syrup steep for 10–15 minutes, until cooled to room temperature. Pour through a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher or large measuring cup, pressing the ginger slices to extract as much liquid as possible; discard the solids.
