8-Calorie Ginger Lemon Sparkler mocktail — a steaming, hazy golden drink served in a rustic ceramic mug with a fresh lemon wedge resting on the rim and a faint dusting of red spice on top.

Ingredients

1.0 tbsp fresh grated ginger root
1.0 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice
8.0 oz boiling purified water
1 dash McCormick Ground Cayenne Pepper
4 drops Wholesome Organic Liquid Stevia

Instructions

Grate your fresh ginger root using a microplane and place the pulp directly into a tea infuser or the bottom of your mug.
Pour 8 ounces of rolling boiling water over the ginger and let it steep undisturbed for a full 5 minutes.
Remove the ginger pulp or strain the liquid into a clean mug to clear out any stray woody fibers.
Stir in the fresh lemon juice, liquid stevia, and a single, careful dash of ground cayenne pepper.
Serve immediately while steaming hot, floating a thin lemon wheel on top if desired.
