APPLE CIDER VINEGAR COCKTAIL

ACV has a ton of health benefits. You must use only Organic Apple Cider Vinegar which contains which contains the "mother of vinegar". I use Bragg ACV which you should be able to find at any health food store. Some people say it can help control your blood sugar, aid in digestion, it is said to be a natural lowerer of bad cholesterol, it has long been promoted as a remedy for arthritis ( the National Arthritis Foundation says apple cider vinegar has not been proven effective against arthritis but it can't hurt to try). Also many people claim it is a powerful weight loss aid allowing them to lose weight more quickly as it revs up your metabolism and contains a slew of amazingly beneficial vitamins, including B6, which is long known for its energy benefits. One thing about ACV of course is that you must make sure your dental hygine is good as the acid in ACV can eat the tooth enamel. Now, I am NOT a substitute for your medical professional only they can provide you with advice on what is safe and effective for your unique needs or diagnose your particular medical history. This is how I get my ACV in daily, and I actually like the taste.

Makes enough syrup for about 10 drinks; store refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
