- Add 1 tablespoon (21 g) of honey. Warm slightly if thick to ease stirring.

- Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of filtered water and stir again. Substitute half the water with sparkling water if desired.

Notes
Use raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar with ‘the mother’ for best health benefits. Warm honey slightly if thick to dissolve better. Fresh lemon juice is preferred over bottled for brightness. Adjust vinegar and honey to taste to avoid overpowering acidity. Store leftovers in a sealed jar in the refrigerator up to 48 hours and stir before serving. Avoid freezing. For a vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave. Adding fresh mint, cucumber, cayenne pepper, or turmeric can customize flavor and benefits.
