Notes
If you'd like to add some sweetness to this drink, feel free to add 1-2 tsp of maple syrup.
New to apple cider vinegar? Start with 1/2 tbsp per serving/glass and work your way up.
Since vinegar is acidic and can affect your teeth’s enamel, it's recommended to use a straw when consuming vinegar drinks, just to be on the safe side!
