Apple cider vinegar seems to be one of the hot new crazes of the health-DIY circle, so I thought I would look into it a little bit. According to WebMd, Apple cider vinegar is used alone or with honey for weak bones (osteoporosis),weight loss, leg cramps and pain, upset stomach, sore throats, sinus problems,high blood pressure, arthritis, to help rid the body of toxins, stimulate thinking, slow the aging process, regulate blood pressure, reduce cholesterol, and fight infection. Anyone else sold yet?? I am!!!
Yesterday, I tried to drink some with water, I think my ratio was 1 part vinegar to 4 parts water, but I could barely gag it down. So today I decided I needed some way to make it more bearable. (I didn't expect myself to enjoy any beverage with vinegar as the main focus, that's asking a lot.) I did find one online that was bearable. I sort of tasted like lemonade, I guess because it had a bit of a bite but was still sweet. It uses 3 cups of water, 4 tablespoons ACV, 4 tablespoons of apple juice, 4 tablespoons of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix them all together, and drink it with some ice. The first sip is a bit shocking, but it mellows out when you get used to it!
