SWAP ScoreChoose Sometimes
Supporting Wellness at Pantries (SWAP) is a stoplight nutrition ranking system designed to help promote healthy food choices. SWAP ranks food as either green (choose often, supports health), yellow (choose sometimes, can contribute to good health), or red (choose rarely, limited health benefits). These rankings are based on the amount of saturated fat, sodium, and sugar in one serving of the recipe. These nutrients were chosen because they are most associated with chronic disease risk.
Ingredients
- 2 cups 100% apple juice
- 2 whole cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, ground
- 4 cups sparkling water, unflavored
Directions
- Combine the first four ingredients in a pot and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, stirring the liquid intermittently.
- Place a strainer over a large glass, bowl, or pitcher. Carefully pour the liquid into the container. Discard the cloves.
- Place the container in the refrigerator to cool for about 30 minutes.
- Once the apple juice mixture is cool, combine it with the sparkling water and serve.
