hot ginger pear cider

While we were in Canada, I got an amazing ginger pear cider in Calgary and wanted to duplicate it at home. A little experimentation in the kitchen happened, and this drink came out awesome! It's perfect for autumn too... (if only we had some cold weather here!) I had to share!!

Hot Ginger Pear Cider

serves 2

Ingredients:

20 ounces organic pear juice or cider (I used R. W. Knudsen which only has juice from raw pears and absorbic acid)

1-2" fresh ginger root, grated

3 tablespoons ginger juice (or to taste, I like mine on the spicy side)

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

splash of lemon juice (optional)

Instructions:

In a medium sauce pan, combine all ingredients and simmer on low for 20 minutes. Strain out ginger chunks if desired and serve. Enjoy!
