Ingredients
- 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions
- Combine the grated ginger, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup (or honey) in a glass or jar.
- Pour in the cold water (still or sparkling) and stir well until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or ginger intensity if desired.
- Add a lemon slice for garnish, if using.
