So I just tried something most of you might turn your nose up just thinking about it. I just put a spoonful of apple cider vinegar in my green tea. Before you think I'm the grossest person ever, hear me out. I actually like ACV. I eat it with my salads, especially power greens like spinach or kale. For a few days now, I've been drinking a glass of water mixed with 1 tbsp of ACV and just a bit of maple syrup to taste. But I read about making green tea with honey and a spoonful of ACV, and it's actually not bad. It gives the green tea a tart taste that may put off those who don't care for vinegar, but it's not enough to put me off. Plus, a search for "apple cider vinegar benefits" will yield many results that essentially say some of the same things: high acetic acid, low calories, kills bad bacteria while strengthening gut bacteria, reduces blood sugar, helps you feel full, lowers cholesterol, and has been linked to a lot of (less-researched) other health benefits like whiter teeth, a sore throat remedy, cancer-fighter, upset tummy soother, hiccup curer, indigestion easer, stuffy nose clearer, bad breath reliever, and even a bruise vanisher. I just know I think it tastes good, and most research does show that it has legit benefits. Just don't drink it straight.
