  3. 3

    Add honey if using, and stir until dissolved.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle in a pinch of cinnamon if desired for extra flavor.

  5. 5

    Drink right away, ideally on an empty stomach in the morning.

👨‍🍳 Chef Notes & Tips

Start with 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar if you're new to this, working up to 2 tablespoons as you get used to the taste — undiluted or overly concentrated ACV can be harsh on tooth enamel and the throat, so always dilute well and consider drinking through a straw. This drink is not a substitute for medical advice or treatment, and results vary by individual — check with a doctor before making it a daily habit, especially if you have digestive conditions or are on medication.
