Why You Should Try This Recipe

  • This Apple Cider Vinegar Drink has vitamin C and can lower your sugar levels.

Important Ingredients

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a healthy kind of vinegar that has good bacteria and probiotics in it. One study showed that it can help lower your sugar. I like to use organic, apple cider vinegar unfiltered like Bragg’s.

Fresh lemon juice, even though it is sour, makes the strong vinegar taste better. Lemon juice also has vitamin C, which helps your immune system. You can use lime juice if you like but do not use orange juice because it is too sugary.

If you want a little sweetness, you can add maple syrup or raw honey to make the drink taste better. But if you do not want sugar, you can use liquid stevia as a substitute. You can find the exact ingredients and amounts in the recipe card at the end of this post.

How to Make the Apple Cider Vinegar Detox Drink

Step One:

Put 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider water, vinegar, and lemon juice in a glass jar with a tall glass or lid. You can find the exact amounts in the recipe card at the end of this post.

Step Two:

Shake or stir it really well until everything mixes together.

Step Three:

If you are worried about the vinegar hurting your teeth, you can drink it through a straw. It is also a good idea to have a big glass of water afterwards.

Recipe Tips & Changes

This drink is strongest right after you make it, but you can make it in advance if you want to. Put it in a covered container and shake it before you drink it. It can stay good in the fridge for up to 5 days.

You can make more of this drink easily. Just double, triple, or even make four times the amount if you want.

If you like it sweeter, you can add 1-2 teaspoons of honey, but remember that more sugar might reduce how much this drink helps lower your blood sugar.

If you want a vegan version, use maple syrup rather than honey.

If you want some spiciness, try adding a small amount of cayenne pepper.

People May Ask

What is the “mother” in apple cider vinegar

The “mother” is like the tiny living thing that makes the vinegar and gives you good probiotics. If your bottle of ACV has this, it’s the best for you. Think of it like the SCOBY that makes kombucha.

Is this recipe suitable for vegans

I usually use honey to sweeten drinks like this, but if you are a vegan (or do not like the taste of honey), you can use pure maple syrup instead.

Do I have to drink this on an empty stomach

You can if you want, but you do not have to. Some research suggests that having vinegar before bedtime might help with sugar levels. Consult your doctor when they think it is best for you to have this drink.

Is it okay to consume honey if I have diabetes

Consult with your healthcare provider. Nevertheless, there is evidence from a study indicating that honey could potentially benefit the body weight and specific blood fats of individuals with diabetes.

Will this drink help my stomach work better

It might, but there is no scientific proof that it will.

How much of this drink should I have

The recipe is designed for a single portion, but you can divide it in half if you prefer.

What are the benefits of drinking apple cider vinegar and lemon juice

Lemon juice helps get rid of extra water and bloating, while apple cider vinegar adds a tangy taste. It has something called acetic acid, which can make you feel full, eat less, and help with managing your weight.

What happens when you mix lemon and apple cider vinegar

This combo is a strong antioxidant because ACV with the “mother” has good vitamins, and lemon juice has vitamin C. It can also fight bad infections caused by certain bacteria.

Do lemon juice and apple cider vinegar help you lose weight

Both of them can be part of a plan to lose weight, but they cannot replace eating healthy and exercising. Those are the most important things to lose weight.
