Directions
- Heat the water until it is warm but not boiling—comfortable enough to sip immediately.
- Pour the warm water into a mug or heat-safe glass, letting the gentle steam invite you to pause and enjoy the moment.
- Stir in the apple cider vinegar, noticing its sharp, tangy aroma that mellows as it mixes with warm water.
- Add the grated ginger or ginger juice. This adds a mild, earthy spice and warming sensation that balances the tartness.
- Pour in the fresh lemon juice, watching the color brighten and the aroma lift, giving the drink a fresh, sunny scent.
- Optional: add honey or maple syrup to lightly sweeten the drink if the vinegar is too strong. Stir until fully dissolved.
- Sip slowly while warm, preferably on an empty stomach in the morning or 20–30 minutes before meals.
- Rinse your mouth afterward with plain water to protect your tooth enamel from the acidity.

Variations & Substitutions

• If fresh ginger is unavailable, use 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (0.5 g), though fresh ginger gives a brighter flavor.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or turmeric for a warming, spiced variation.
• For a cool twist, prepare with warm water, then allow to cool or add a few ice cubes.
