I’ve been working through the night on several writing projects (got into a groove and just decided to keep going – today is going to be rough. Sigh.) and around 1am I got hit with a big sugar craving. I didn’t want to eat anything too sugary, since it was 1am and I have a minor sinus infection, so I tried to think about what I could make that would sastify my sweet fix and help fight this cold.
Here it is.
Ingredients
1 apple, cored, skin on
1/2 lime, peeled
fresh ginger root, peeled, to taste
sweetener of your choice, to taste
2 cups cold water
ice, optional
plain seltzer water, optional
Blend all ingredients except for the seltzer water until smooth.
I think I used a Fuji apple – not really sure, I just grabbed the first apple I saw in the fridge. Use whatever apple you’d like. As for the ginger, I used a about an inch and a half. Remember, I’m trying to take down some funky stuff, so use what you like. I also used a buckwheat honey, which is really dark and REALLY good. Use what you have.
