My Two Cents:

Zinger [zing-er]: a surprise, shock, or piece of electrifying news. Yeah, this drink is just that.

Kickstart your day with this refreshingly bold dose of feel-good in a glass. Simple to make and even easier to enjoy.
Spicy, zesty, and citrusy with a hint of natural sweetness, this Ginger Lemon Zinger is not for the faint of heart. Yes, this baby packs a punch (of flavor, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatories), and it’s surprisingly refreshing. If the ginger proves too much for you, add a splash of fresh orange or pineapple juice to tone down the spice.
Mason jars are a cute, convenient, and cost-effective way to store individual servings (or to pack up fab gifts for friends).
Wellness never tasted so good.

Yield: 8 - 9 cups
