This apple cider vinegar uses spices to make this beneficial drink more palatable and adds some extra health benefits.

But what exactly is the purpose of an apple cider vinegar detox?

It’s a natural high probiotic cleanser that alkalinizes the body, reduces inflammation, and stabilizes blood sugar levels.

It’s a true superfood, albeit a very simple one. The body can detox itself, but this kind of detox helps ease the transition from a processed food diet to a healthier, whole-food diet.

You can simply drink the apple cider vinegar diluted with water, but this recipe uses spices synonymous with apple pie.

The cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger powder add flavor and boost the elixir with their own health benefits.

As apple cider vinegar is naturally sour, adding raw honey or pure maple syrup (healthy in their own right) also helps to make it more palatable.

🧑‍🍳 Expert Tips

  • Add more spices. Cayenne pepper, turmeric, and powdered garlic are also highly beneficial in this elixir.
  • Swap out the sweetener. Stevia is a good sweetener if you want to avoid sugar.
  • Murky vinegar is best. Vinegar that is murky or cloudy means it has ‘the mother’ present, which is an acetic acid bacteria that makes it so beneficial.

Storage Suggestions

This drink is best made fresh just before you drink it.

Apple Cider Vinegar FAQs

Can you clean your gut with apple cider vinegar?

The concept of ‘cleaning your gut’ is a myth often misunderstood by those looking to detox. However, it does contain prebiotics and probiotics that are good for your gut health.

What is the fastest way to flush your body of toxins?

Your body has a natural system of ridding itself of toxins, but there is no quick fix for this process. The best way to do this is to drink water, sleep well, eat probiotic foods, exercise, and lower sugar intake.
