Ingredients
  • 8ounces Warm WaterYou don’t want the water too hot. You don’t want to kill the live cultures in the raw apple cider vinegar. You can also make this the night before and drink it at room temperature as well.
  • 3-4wedges LemonI prep my lemons the night before and leave them cut up and ready to go in a bowl for the day. If you have trouble with acid reflux, start out with 1-2 wedges and work your way up.
  • 1-2tablespoons Raw Apple Cider VinegarBe sure to shake the bottle to get all of good stuff that has settled to the bottom. Again, if you suffer from acid reflux, and this feels like too much, you can omit for the 1st week or so and then add in, OR build up, one drop at a time.
  • 1/2teaspoon Local, Raw HoneyContains beneficial enzymes and minerals, antioxidants, and is great for fighting seasonal allergies
  • 1/2-1teaspoon Fresh Grated Ginger Root*Optional, but great to decrease inflammation, and improve digestion.
  • 1/2teaspoon Fresh Grated Turmeric Root*Optional, but also great for decreasing inflammation.
  • 1pinch Cayenne Pepper*Optional, but I like to add this during the winter months for additional warming properties. It also helps fight colds and flu, as well as cleanse your entire system
  • 1 Green Tea Bag*Optional, it’s a great caffeine source that is gentle on your system, but gives you an extra boost.
Instructions
  1. Prep lemons the night before. Heat water to warm (I use the lowest setting on my tea kettle). Add ingredients to your favorite mug. Sip and enjoy during your morning quiet time. (Even if this means you get up 30 minutes before the rest of the house.) You. Are. Worth. It!
