4 servings
- 3 cups cold water
- 3 tbsp raw honey
- 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
Ingredient noteLow residue diets limit whole fruits, roots, and botanicals that add fiber. The fresh ginger here is infused and then strained out, leaving virtually no residue, so it is likely low residue. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
- 1 tbsp 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 3/4 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.
For serving
- ice cubes, for serving (optional)
- fresh mint leaves, for serving (optional)
Instructions

Combine 1 cup of the water, the honey, and the sliced ginger in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the honey fully dissolves, about 2–3 minutes. Do not boil.
