**Super Spiced Cider**

Warm apple cider is the perfect winter comfort drink. This special version combines two potent spices, ginger and turmeric for a unique flavor and nutrition profile. Fresh ginger, for example, contains a pungent substance called gingerol while turmeric gets it characteristic yellow hue from the class of cancer-fighting compounds, curcuminoids. Both are being studied for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

**Ginger and Turmeric Hot Cider**

1 cup fresh sweet apple cider

1 tsp. grated fresh ginger

1 tsp. grated fresh turmeric

In small saucepan, combine cider, ginger, turmeric and lemon peel. Over medium-high heat, heat until ring of bubbles appears around edge of pan, 3 minutes. Cover pan and set aside to steep for 5 minutes.

Pour hot-spiced cider through fine tea strainer into mug. Serve immediately.
