One of my favorite things

Step 1

In a blender add peeled and chopped ginger and 2 cups water and blend. Pour into mug and add cloves, cinnamon stick and orange peel. Allow to sit for at least 24 hours.

Step 2

Allow to sit longer for a stronger ginger flavor. Using a strainer, strain ginger mixture into a gallon sized mug, making sure to separate the solids from the liquid. Add sugar and the rest of the water; mix well until sugar is dissolved.

Step 3

Chill before serving.
