Harvest Apple Spritz

Ginger-tangerine simple syrup:
1 cup sugar
1 cup roughly chopped peeled fresh ginger
Peel of 2 tangerines, removed with a vegetable peeler
A few sprigs of rosemary (optional)
1 cup water
 
About 8 cups apple cider
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
Fresh tangerine juice, from 2 tangerines above
4-6 cans (12 ounces) sparkling water
 
Lemon and apple slices, for serving
 
For the ginger-tangerine simple syrup:
Put the sugar, ginger, tangerine peel, and 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat, lightly muddling the solids and stirring until the sugar dissolves. Let cool completely, then strain, discarding the solids.
 
For the drink:
In a large pitcher, combine the syrup, cider, lemon and tangerine juices. Chill until ready to serve.  Add the sparkling water just before serving. Garnish with lemon and apple slices, if desired.
