Hi Laura, thank you for your feedback. We have revised the recipe.
Do we slice the fruit? Peel the fruit? Peel the ginger? Can you be a little more detailed with instructions?
Hi Laurie, we have updated the recipe. Thanks for your feedback!
How long will this keep and can you keep adding water as you drink?
Hi Martha, to keep it tasting fresh we like to remake every day. You can keep adding water to it throughout the day though, as you do the flavor will lessen in intensity so make a fresh batch when you feel it isn’t flavorful enough!
