Spiced Pineapple Turmeric Ginger Cooler

Steps

1. Cut the pineapple into chunks, slice the ginger, and cut the orange into 2 wedges for garnish; set the wedges aside. Keep the sparkling water (club soda) in the fridge until serving.
2. In a small pot, combine the water, ginger, turmeric, cloves and maple syrup. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and simmer gently for 5 minutes to make a spiced syrup.
3. Take the pot off the heat, add the pineapple chunks to the warm syrup, and let steep for 10 minutes.
4. Strain out and discard the ginger slices, then blend the pineapple and spiced syrup until smooth, or mash well and press through a sieve for a thinner drink.
5. Chill the pineapple mixture in the fridge until cold, about 20 minutes, or stir it over a bowl of ice to speed things up.
6. Stir the lime juice into the chilled pineapple mixture.
7. Divide the pineapple mixture between 2 glasses over ice. Pour half of the chilled sparkling water (club soda) into each glass and stir gently.
8. Garnish each glass with an orange wedge and serve right away.
