Ingredients & Measurements (1 serving)
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (raw, with the “mother”)
- Juice of ¼ lemon
- A pinch of cinnamon powder (optional)
All ingredients are used in mild, food-level amounts.
How to Make
- Warm the water until comfortably warm (not hot).
- Stir in apple cider vinegar.
- Add lemon juice and cinnamon (if using).
- Drink slowly 10–20 minutes after a meal.
- Apple Cider Vinegar – Helps slow carbohydrate digestion and may reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes by improving insulin sensitivity.
- Lemon – Provides vitamin C and organic acids that help moderate glucose release after meals.
- Cinnamon (optional) – Supports insulin response when used lightly; optional for sensitive stomachs.
- Warm Water – Aids digestion and supports gentle absorption without shocking the system.
When to Take
- Best after carbohydrate-containing meals
- Limit to once daily (or as advised by a healthcare provider)
- Avoid taking on a completely empty stomach if sensitive
Fridge Life & Storage
- Best prepared fresh
- Can be stored in a sealed glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours
- Shake or stir well before drinking
Safety Notes
- Always dilute apple cider vinegar—never consume it straight
- Skip or reduce vinegar if pregnant, breastfeeding, or prone to acid reflux
- This supports blood sugar balance but does not replace medical treatment
