Tools needed to make this apple cider vinegar drink
These aa few simple items you will be needing to make this immune boosting AVC drink.
Ingredients of apple cider vinegar
- Apple cider vinegar – Apple cider vinegar that contains the mother can help boost your immune system because of all the antiviral properties it has. Because of the fermentation process, it also helps the growth of healthy bacteria in your gut similar to Kombucha!
- Lemon – Fresh lemon juice is extremely high in vitamin C. It is a must for immune support as well as heart and digestive health.
- Grated ginger – Ginger is huge when talking about immunity boosting foods. This root has antimicrobial effects that can help fight off bacteria and may help reduce the risk of respiratory infections.
- Cinnamon – Cinnamon contains potent antibacterial, antiviral, analgesic and inflammatory properties. It is the perfect addition when trying to stay healthy and keep your immune system strong.
- Raw honey – The raw honey is rich in anti oxidants and is often used to soothe sore throats as well as boost up the immune system. This ingredient is optional but I love adding it to at least one of my daily drinks to add a touch of sweetness to it.
What kind of apple cider vinegar should I use?
Anytime you are tying to get some health benefits from something you have to always pick something that is unprocessed. The best apple cider vinegar that fits that profile would be the raw, unrefined and unfiltered apple cider vinegar. The ACV tha tyou get has to contains “the mother”
What is “the mother”?
The mother is a sediment that consists of a dozen of strains of good bacteria, which we often refer to as probiotics. They help your digestive tract run smoothly, and digest all the food properly.
So in simple words, “the mother” is the difference between an ACV that’s full of good probiotics and an apple cider vinegar that is not. So always make sure to get ACV with the mother.
Can I use powdered ginger if I don’t have fresh ginger?
This apple cider vinegar drink taste a whole lot better if you can get your hands on some fresh ginger! But don’t fret, if you don’t have any fresh ginger, you can use ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger instead of the fresh ginger in this recipe.
What are the health benefits of drinking apple cider vinegar (ACV)
Apple cider vinegar has a wide array of of health benefits of of those health benefits are:

- Alkalizes our blood. Harmful bacterias, candida and disease doesn’t grow too often in an environment with a well balanced PH balance.
- Apple cider vinegar is made from fermenting the natural sugar from apples. This process turns those sugars into acetic acid, which is one of the main ingredients of ACV. This fermentation process, helps replenish the good bacterias in your gut.
- Helps suppress appetite, burn fat, and aids in weight loss.
- All those good bacterias we talked about also help with digestion and beating belly bloat
A cold and flu drink that really works!
Not only fo I drink this on a regular basis to keep my digestion working properly but I also have it a little more often when I feel a cold or the flu coming. It stops it in its tracks! Have this a couple of times a day, get plenty of rest, supplement with vitamin d3 and oregano oil and you will be well on your way to swerve the illness!
This is also a great drink to have when you are sick!

When should I drink this ACV drink?
Honestly there is no set time for you to enjoy this nutritious ACV drink. I personally like to have it on an empty stomach before breakfast and before dinner to aid with digestion.
I know that other people only have it once in the morning while those who are going for a body detox have it three times a day. So the decision is yours, have it as many or as little times as you want. Just make sure to dilute the ACV in water before consuming it. Usually a 1:10 vinegar to water works perfectly.

Notes
Can you taste the apple cider vinegar?
The short answer is yes.
This drink contains apple cider vinegar so it will taste like it. The use of fresh grated ginger definitely helps keep the vinegary flavor at bay but I always suggest that you start with 1 teaspoon and work your way up to 1-2 tablespoon a day. That way you will have a better experience with it.

This recipe is one of the most simple variations of ACV drinks. Add ginger, honey and cinnamon to it and call it a day. But if you have some extra time and want to get a little more creative you can try adding:

- Any type of muddles berries would take this to the next level
- Some orange juice or grapefruit instead of lemon juice
- A splash of cranberry, pomegranate or cherry juice

The recipe calls for “1/2 lemon juice.” Do you mean the juice of 1/2 lemon? Or do you mean 1/2 cup or tablespoon or teaspoon lemon juice? Thank you in advance.

Hi Barbara! Sorry for the misunderstanding. I meant to say the juice of half a lemon 🍋
Enjoy your drink 🙂
