Ingredients

4 servings

4 cups fresh apple cider (unfiltered)
1 cup water
1 lemon, zest peeled in wide strips and juiced (about 3 tbsp juice)
1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, thinly sliced
2 ceylon cinnamon sticks
¼ tsp ground turmeric
2 tbsp honey, plus more to taste
Chef's tip
Use the same amount. Maple syrup is a little thinner and less sticky than honey.

For serving

4 thin lemon slices, for serving (optional)
4 small fresh ginger slices, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the apple cider, water, lemon zest strips, sliced ginger, Ceylon cinnamon sticks, and turmeric in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir briefly to distribute the turmeric.
2
Heat the mixture until it just begins to steam and small bubbles form around the edges, about 8–10 minutes — do not bring to a full boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 10 minutes, until the cider is fragrant and the ginger and cinnamon aromas are pronounced.
