How to make an apple cider drink

Which kind of apple cider vinegar should I use? THIS IS IMPORTANT! Make sure you use the organic, unfiltered apple cider vinegar (I use Bragg’s
‘s). It may also say ‘with the mother’. This means that the proteins, enzymes and helpful bacteria are in the bottle, and it may have a cloudy appearance. Just give it a shake up before you use it and you’re good to go! I’ve never tasted any weird texture from the mother.
Can you taste the apple cider vinegar? A little bit. For me, I could smell it when I first started drinking this and I found that more off-putting than the actual taste. HOWEVER I got used to it really quickly, so give it a try! Using a straw also helps because then your nose isn’t right in the drink 😉
Can I add sweetener to this apple cider vinegar detox drink? Absolutely, when I first started drinking this, I added 1/4 cup of cran-raspberry juice to it. This helps mask the apple cider vinegar flavor even more. Eventually I found I enjoyed the flavor even more without the cran-raspberry juice.
When should I drink this apple cider vinegar detox drink? It is 100% up to you! I either drink mine in the early afternoon if I feel low after lunch, or I drink it in the evening when I’m watching TV. I find it helps curb late-night TV munchies.
Can I drink this apple cider vinegar detox drink warm? I have also enjoyed this drink with warm water (instead of the soda water). Pour over a few slices of fresh ginger and a cinnamon stick for a cozy drink.
