Maple Ginger Cider Switchel

Stir well before each serving. It's natural for the ginger to settle to the bottom.

1 (5") piece fresh ginger (about 6 oz)
½ cup apple cider vinegar
3 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
1 Tbsp. lime or lemon juice, freshly squeezed
4 cups water or club soda

To Serve:
mint sprigs

Pass ginger through a juicer (you should have about ⅓ cup). Combine ginger juice, vinegar, maple syrup, and lime juice in a large pitcher and stir until maple syrup is dissolved. Chill until cold.

To serve, dilute with water and pour switchel into ice-filled glasses; garnish with mint.

Make-Ahead: Base can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.

Makes 4 servings.
