Feel The Bern, Spiced apple soda

I'm calling this one, Feel The Bern, Spiced Apple Soda.  In honor of Bernie Sanders, democratic presidential candidate. The race is still on and Bernies hanging in there. I named a soda after Trump and thought it only fair to include the Democratic candidate as well. 

I scaled this recipe up to make three quarts. We'll see how it turns out soon enough. 
I'll follow up with a review in a few days. 
Specific Gravity: 1.06 (was low so I added sugar syrup to bring it up to 1.09)

Feel The Bern, Spiced Apple Soda Recipe
Makes three quarts

1 can frozen Apple concentrate.
2 cinnamon sticks 
12 cloves
1 ounce fresh ginger
1/4 cup sugar

Add one quart of water to a stock pot with the cinnamon, ginger, cloves and sugar. Bring to a boil and simmer for ten minutes. Turn off the heat and add the frozen concentrate to cool the mixture down. Pour mixture into three clean quart swing top bottles add about a half cup of ginger bug and top up with water. Shake well and cover with a clean coffee filter. Let sit for 24 hours. Remove the filter, cap and let sit out for additional 24 hours and then refrigerate.
