Step-by-Step Instructions

Start by washing and slicing two fresh apples, keeping the skin on for added nutrients. Peel and thinly slice fresh ginger.
Pour four cups of filtered water into a medium-sized pot and set it on the stove over medium-high heat until it comes to a gentle boil.
Once the water is boiling, add the sliced apples and ginger, cover with a lid to infuse flavors.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for 20 to 30 minutes.
After simmering, strain the mixture into teacups. Stir in honey or chosen sweetener to taste.
Add lemon juice if desired and garnish with thin apple slices, crystallized ginger, or fresh mint.
Serve steaming hot or chilled, and enjoy with light snacks like rice cakes or dumplings.
