Lemon Ginger Cider Vinegar Infusion
Description
The infusion uses 1 1/2 cups of hot water as a base, mixed with freshly squeezed lemon juice and raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar. Honey sweetens the tart and spicy mixture, while ginger adds warmth and a tingling sensation characteristic of this drink. Fresh ginger can be juiced or sliced and simmered briefly to extract its flavor. Alternatively, powdered ginger provides an easy substitution.
The mixture is stirred or simmered together and served hot to sip like a soothing tea. The balance of lemon and ginger with the sharpness of vinegar creates a stimulating flavor profile. The drink is not a cold beverage but rather consumed warm, intended for comfort or potential digestive benefits.
After drinking, it is recommended to rinse the mouth well and brush teeth to protect enamel from the acidic ingredients. Drinking a glass of warm water afterward is suggested. This step is practical to maintain dental health with regular consumption.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups water the same temperature you would use to make tea, hot
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or up to 3 tsp, raw, unfiltered
- 1 tablespoon honey (I use manuka honey)
- 1 teaspoon ginger OR 1/2 to 3/4 tsp powdered ginger spice OR 2-inch knob peeled ginger, sliced (ginger is to taste - use more or less as desired, but use enough so that your throat tingles when you drink it!, fresh juice
Instructions
- If using fresh ginger juice or powdered ginger: combine all ingredients and mix until well incorporated. Serve hot and sip it like a tea. If using fresh ginger: Combine the peeled fresh sliced ginger and 1 1/2 cups water in a saucepan and simmer on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes. Remove ginger pieces, then stir in the lemon juice, cider vinegar, and honey.
- Serve hot and sip it like a tea. When finished, rinse your mouth out well with water, then brush your teeth. I usually follow this routine by drinking a full glass of room temperature or warm water.
