Lemon Ginger Cider Vinegar Infusion
This Lemon Ginger Cider Vinegar Infusion is a warm beverage combining hot water, fresh lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, honey, and ginger for a tangy, slightly sweet drink with a spicy ginger kick. It can be prepared using fresh ginger juice, powdered ginger, or sliced fresh ginger simmered briefly. The drink is consumed hot like tea, often followed by rinsing the mouth to protect teeth from acidity.
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.
