I mix 1-2 tablespoons (depending on the need) with about 8 ounces of very cold all natural apple juice. I drink one first thing in the morning and about an hour before bed. I've learned to truly love the mix. It generally tastes like a very tart apple cider. You can adjust the amount of juice to control the dilution ratio of the ACV accordingly to your personal taste. It will obviously cost you more if you choose to mix the ACV with more juice.

I knew that ACV was a natural diuretic and just generally good for you so I started drinking about 2-3 tablespoons full in a glass of water every day. It also cured my acid reflux... I still didn't like the taste so one day I was drinking some lemonade that I made and I poured the vinegar into that. It's really good! Tastes sort of like a whiskey sour...actually if you add a shot of whiskey, you'll be pleased if you like whiskey sours. It is so good that my husband has me make him one occasionally...after forcing him to taste mine. I probably use more vinegar that the 2-3 tablespoons I was drinking to begin with, but it makes a really enjoyable beverage.

I am wondering if there is any reason that I can't just add it to my morning smoothie. Most of the recipes I see combine it with something sour (lemon, tomato juice, etc) so I wonder if the natural sugar in fruit reacts with it. I make my smoothies with a cup of light vanilla soy milk, 2 tbls. fat free greek yogurt, 6-8 frozen strawberries, 1/3 cup frozen blueberries, about half a frozen banana and flax seeds. I tried adding a little ACV this morning and I even kind of like the sour taste it creates. Just wondering if anyone had any info. Thanks!

I am bad about taking multiple doses in a day so I usually end up with just a morning dose. I also do not do a "full" dose. My recipe has been 1 tsp of organic, raw acv, 1 tsp of honey, 8oz of water. With this recipe first thing in the morning before any other food and a waiting time of 30-60 minutes before eating I notice I always have a great bowel movement soon after. Also, while there are small, almost unnoticable benefits, like having a cold for two days instead of ten, I mostly notice the benefits when I stop drinking it for several days. I suddenly feel sicker, more unhealthy and have less energy. After reading all these posts, I plan on increasing my daily dose to the two tablespoon dosage to get the full effects of acv. ACV is also known for balancing your pH levels, too. On another note, I'm not sure why honey is frowned upon in the recipe. If it is because of the sugar aspect then I have a suggestion. For the last year I have used raw agave nectar in my drink instead of honey. Agave nectar has no glycemic index, making it safe for diabetes. It also does not spoil, like honey, has a similar although lighter taste and texture, but mixes a lot quicker and fully compared to honey, even in cold water. I put in just a little more than a tsp in my concoction. With agave I can add more if I need to without worrying about glucose levels. (I am not diabetic, but more hypoglycemic so I need to be careful.) Hope this is helpful to those who need some sweet to their drink!" http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Remedies/acv_recipes.html&name=ACVRECIPES_34411 /Remedies/acv_recipes.rss13 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:05:32 EST [YEA] Anita from St. Petersburg , Florida, Usa writes: "My brother and son came up with a similar recipe, 2 teaspoons each of apple cider vinegar and pure honey in glass of cold water, and found that a dash of Lemon extract added made it taste just like lemonade! You don't taste the vinegar or honey, just the lemon flavor. Further, in hot weather, put the glass in the freezer for a few minutes and it becomes like a 'slushy'!

NEVER NEVER do this! Vinegar and baking soda combined is used as a natural DRAIN CLEANER and also to make pretend volcanos to amuse children...it creates a chemical reaction that is VERY dangerous to ingest. It foams and emits a gas..and is powerful enough to clean blocked drains. YOu don't want this in your body! Please post this info for your readers. I was alarmed that anyone would do this! Secondly, someone asked about taking ACV straight. It is not recommended by health professionals, because there is the possibility of acid burns in the throat. It depends on the person, but it's happened. It's very acidic, and not a good idea to take straight, just to be safe. Mix it up with something!

My uncle taught me the worst tasting remedy I've ever heard of, but it'd cure colds in no less than 3 days. My mom used to give it to me, and I had to plug my nose in order to even drink the stuff down, but it was amazing. What to do is, you throw an entire clove of garlic (not just a small piece, but the whole clove, peeled of course) into a 1 quart jar (one whole clove of garlic per quart), or even a 2 quart would work. Fill the jar the rest of the way with ACV, and then, you put the lid on the jar, and let it sit on the counter overnight to start the fermentation process. We would sometimes let it ferment for two days, but no more than that usually to keep bacteria from growing. After that, you can store it for a very long time in the refrigerator to use when needed, leaving the cloves of garlic in it. Then, when a cold would strike, we'd put about 4oz of the liquid into a coffee cup, and then microwave it for about 30 seconds (to warm it up a little, but not make it too hot), then to get rid of the acidity and horrible taste of ACV, put 2 tablespoons of honey, and then about 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (all of which you can get at a grocery store). Vuala. We call it "Natures Pennicilin" because it has just enough bacteria from the mother of vinegar, plus it pulls the antioxidants from the garlic, and honey helps it spread through the body quicker as it's good for you, and the tablespoon full of lemon juice is enough to flavor it almost to a tea-like state, as well as an excellent source of ascorbic acid (vit c). I had a cold and tried the onion thing recently... and was still sick for a week. Tried the ACV cure on a wart, and it worked overnight... Amazing how ACV can work for the entire body. :)" http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Remedies/acv_recipes.html&name=ACVRECIPES_27748 /Remedies/acv_recipes.rss21 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 06:35:43 EDT [YEA] Mike from Cravey, Texas writes: "I just started taking acv three weeks ago, and I find that mixing two tablespoons with an equal amount of cranberry juice makes it very easy to take.

It includes Apple Cider Vinegar & Black Strap Molasses and is an interesting and refreshing way to take both as it also includes ginger, lemon and honey which some may find helps to cut the taste. There are several different ways to make this recipe so you can chop and change to suit your preference, but here is the way I like to drink it: SUMMER SWITCHEL 8 cups water 1/4 cup grated fresh ginger (i prefer fresh ginger but you can use 1-2 tbsp of ground ginger powder instead) 1/4 cup organic apple cider vinegar 1/4 cup organic blackstrap molasses 1/8 cup honey (add more or less if you prefer) 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (add more or less if you prefer) Mint sprigs or lemon slices (optional) 1. Add grated ginger/ground ginger to 3 cups of water in a small saucepan. Over a medium heat bring to the boil then turn down heat slightly and continue to gently boil for 2-3 minutes. Remove pan from the heat, cover and infuse for 15 minutes. 2. Place a piece of kitchen towel into a sieve and strain ginger infusion into a glass pitcher, if using fresh ginger squeeze kitchen towel to extract all the liquid from pulp. 3. Add the molasses & honey and stir until dissolved. Stir in apple cider vinegar, lemon juice and the remaining 5 cups of water. Chill until very cold, at least 2 hours or overnight. 4. Optional: before serving add mint sprigs or torn mint leaves and/or lemon slices to the pitcher. Stir well and serve in tall glasses with ice cubes if you prefer. Hope you enjoy.
