Ginger : Cider, Lemonade, and a Ginger Milk Recipe
warm ginger milk
1 cup milk
1/4 tsp fresh grated ginger (or ginger powder in a pinch)
a dash of ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp agave nectar (you could use honey as long as your child is
older than 1 year)
heat the milk , ginger, and cinnamon on the stove until it almost--but
doesn't--boil. reduce heat and let simmer for 5-10 minutes. let cool
until just warm and safe for your little one's mouth. strain to remove
any big bits of ginger if your snow angel (like mine!) has an aversion
to bits in their drinks. add agave. stir. and serve!

1 cup water
juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 tsp fresh grated ginger (or ginger powder in a pinch)

heat the water, lemon, and ginger on the stove until it boils. reduce
heat and let simmer for 5-10 minutes. let cool until just warm and
safe for your little one's mouth. strain to remove any big bits of
ginger if your snow angel (like mine!) has an aversion to bits in
their drinks. add agave. stir. and serve!

it boils. reduce heat and let simmer for 10-15 minutes. let cool until
