A refreshing tonic that combines lemon, ginger, and apple cider vinegar for a bright, tangy lift, perfect for hydration and a healthy routine.


Ingredients

  • 12 to 16 oz cold water
  • 1 to 2 tsp apple cider vinegar (start small)
  • 1 to 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 pinch of cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 to 3 thin ginger slices or a small pinch of ground ginger
  • Ice
  • Optional: cucumber slices
  • Optional: mint
  • Optional: a tiny bit of stevia


Instructions

  1. Measure the water into a tall glass or small pitcher. Use cold water for a crisp mouthfeel.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar first. Start small. Taste after you stir.
  3. Squeeze 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice into the water.
  4. Drop in the thin ginger slices. Let them steep for a minute or two.
  5. Add a pinch of cinnamon if you want warmth. It’s optional but cozy.
  6. Fill the glass with ice.
  7. Stir for 10 to 15 seconds until the flavors look blended.
  8. Taste it, and adjust as needed.
  9. If it’s too tart, add another teaspoon of water or a tiny pinch of stevia.
  10. Serve immediately in a chilled glass or keep it in the fridge for up to a day.

Notes

Start small with apple cider vinegar and adjust to taste. Fresh lemon juice makes a significant difference in aroma and flavor.
