To get started, bring the ginger, cinnamon sticks, lemon peels, and water to a boil in a large pot. Once it boils, reduce the heat to low and let the ingredients simmer for the next 15 minutes. Strain the ginger, cinnamon, and lemon peel out from the liquid and allow the tea to cool.

Next, add in the apple cider vinegar and maple syrup, stirring until fully dissolved. To prevent the good bacteria from being destroyed, it’s important to add the apple cider vinegar only after the tea has cooled. When finished, divide the tonic between four mugs and garnish with cinnamon sticks and lemon peel. Serve immediately and enjoy!
