Equipment
- Muddler (or wooden spoon)
- Grater
Ingredients
- ⅛ cup fresh ginger grated
- 1 teaspoon cane sugar
- 3 thyme sprigs and more for garnish
- 1 cup apple juice
- sparkling water
Instructions
- Add the grated ginger, cane sugar and thyme sprigs to a bowl. Muddle the mixture by pressing and stirring against the ginger and herbs with a muddler or the end of a wooden spoon. This helps the ginger to release its juice. Pour on the apple juice and ½ cup sparkling water. Leave to stand for 10-15 minutes.
- Strain the mixture through a sieve into a jug. Discard the ginger mixture. Pour into your glasses and top with sparkling water. Garnish with a thyme sprig and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure to give the ginger a good bash! This will help it release the juices and give more flavour.
- Use freshly juiced apple if you are sensitive to that from a carton.
- Adjust quantities of apple juice and sparkling water to preference.
