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! 

warm ginger lemonade 
1 cup water 
juice of 1/2 lemon 
1/4 tsp fresh grated ginger (or ginger powder in a pinch) 
1/2 tsp agave nectar (you could use honey as long as your child is 
older than 1 year) 
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! 

warm mulled raspberry apple cider 
1 cup apple cider 
1/4 cup frozen raspberries 
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 cider, raspberries, ginger, and cinnamon on the stove until 
it boils. reduce heat and let simmer for 10-15 minutes. let cool until 
just warm and safe for your little one's mouth. strain to remove the 
raspberries and any big bits of ginger if your snow angel (like mine!) 
has an aversion to bits in their drinks. add agave. stir. and serve! 
(note: don't throw away the raspberries! mix them in plain yogurt or 
use them as spread on toast.)
