Apple Cider Vinegar Drink
This apple cider vinegar drink is part of my every morning. Like coffee, but not coffee. In the way that I don’t expect the kids to start with their 4 thousand questions and breakfast requests until after I have my apple cider vinegar with honey and lemon first thing before starting the day.
I started adding this apple cider vinegar and water drink to my morning routine around the same time I started my clean eating weight loss journey. If you are new to a clean eating way of life then you need to check out Everything You Need to Know about a Clean Eating Diet.
You can also see how I have lost 50 lbs and am keeping it off by following a clean eating healthy diet here: How I Lost 50 Lbs Clean Eating. Let’s get into the health benefits of apple cider vinegar and why I start each day with this apple cider vinegar detox drink.
What is Apple Cider Vinegar?
For starters, I always thought apple cider vinegar was just another bottle in the cabinet in the kitchen. But it turns out that it’s so much more. When it comes to making your own apple cider vinegar drink the type of vinegar you use does matter. You want to make sure to use Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar with the ‘Mother’. This is very different from apple juice.
What in the world is ‘the Mother’? I know, I remember saying the same thing. Apparently, only organic, unfiltered apple cider vinegar has the Mother, which is full of probiotics making it great for digestion. If you can’t find this kind of ACV at your local grocery store you can get it online HERE.
What is Apple Cider Vinegar Good For?
The health benefits of drinking apple cider vinegar seem endless. And who doesn’t love natural ways of improving health? Here are just a few examples of what drinking ACV daily may do for your body:
- lower blood sugar levels
- help with weight loss
- improve immune system
- lower cholesterol levels
- improve digestion
- helps relieves allergies

How to Make a Apple Cider Vinegar Detox Drink
I will tell you that I used to (and sometimes still do) take apple cider vinegar shots instead of the drink itself. But taking ACV shots, though fast, does not taste very good. I would shoot the shot fast, and follow with room temperature lemon water, and honey.
Now, I will show you a better way that isn’t as harsh as my previous method. Keep in mind that apple cider vinegar can be rough on tooth enamel so you do want to avoid drinking it straight or letting it sit in your mouth.
As a matter of fact, I asked my dentist about this and was told to make sure to rinse your mouth with a glass of water to ensure that there isn’t any ACV sitting on your teeth.
Steps to Make this Apple Cider Vinegar Detox Recipe :
First, to make your apple cider vinegar detox drink you will start with cinnamon and organic honey. Make sure to use raw unfiltered honey, like this one: honey
Next, in a small bowl, mix the honey and cinnamon thoroughly.
Then, add 1/2 cup of water to a glass. Room temperature water, or cold water is best.
Add the cinnamon honey mixture to the water and place it in the microwave for a few seconds. You only need to do this long enough for the honey to dissolve.
Once the honey is dissolved, add the tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and lemon detox drink to the glass and mix well.
Add a few ice cubes and enjoy your apple cider vinegar with honey and lemon detox drink daily. It’s a good idea to drink this on an empty stomach for the best results.
Effects of Drinking Apple Cider Vinegar
Personally, for me, I have noticed that my allergies have improved drastically. And as my weight tends to fluctuate 2-3 lbs it often leans towards the higher end on days that I forget or get too busy to drink it. (Im not sure if that’s psychological or not lol). I feel my overall health is better on days that I do drink my ACV (it’s rare that I forget, but I do notice that I don’t feel as good on days that I forget if that makes sense)

I’ve heard a lot about ACV, but am curious if you’ve personally noticed any significant benefits since starting your ACV morning ritual? Thanks!
hi, I totally forgot to add in the post that for me, personally, I have noticed that my allergies have improved drastically. And as my weight tends to fluctuate 2-3 lbs it often leans towards the higher end on days that I forget or get too busy to drink it. (Im not sure if that’s psychological or not lol). I feel better all around on days that I do drink my ACV (it’s rare that I forget, but I do notice that I don’t feel as good on days that I forget if that makes sense)
I’m basically looking for a quick cleanse for my gut. Will this drink do that and can you drink it warm
I normally would drink this at room temperature. It can help but a clean of the gut will take more than just a drink. You would have to clean up your diet (if you haven’t already) and remove inflammatory foods and other triggers. I don’t know your personal gut situation but typical other helpful foods could be apple, beets, sauerkraut. I hope this helps.
Can you drink this hot with the same results?
Im not sure, but I don’t see why not. 🙂
It’s delicious hot. I’m drinking it now. As all across Asia they believe its not good to drink cold drinks as it contracts the stomach lining affecting proper digestion!
