Introduction
With my wedding day looming, I knew I wanted to feel confident and healthy. After trying countless diets and workouts, nothing seemed to stick long enough to show results. Then, I discovered a simple, natural drink that became a daily ritual — and it helped me shed 25 pounds before my big day. This one-glass-a-day beverage is easy to make, refreshing, and packed with ingredients that boost metabolism, reduce bloating, and curb cravings. Here’s my recipe and story, along with tips to make this drink part of your wellness routine.
Ingredients:
1 cup (240 ml) warm water
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar (with “the mother”)
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon raw honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
A pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for metabolism boost)
Preparation:
Start by warming the water — not boiling, just pleasantly warm to the touch.
Add the apple cider vinegar and lemon juice, stirring well.
Mix in the cinnamon and cayenne pepper, if using.
Sweeten with honey or maple syrup if desired, and stir until fully dissolved.
Drink it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach for best results.
Tips for Presentation and Storage:
Serve in a clear glass mug to enjoy the warm amber tones.
Garnish with a thin lemon slice or a cinnamon stick for an inviting look.
Prepare fresh each morning to maintain the potency of ingredients; this drink is best consumed immediately.
If you must store it, keep it refrigerated and consume within 24 hours, stirring well before drinking.
