Just about every morning I start the day with a huge glass mug of my Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) Drink. It may just be because I am dehydrated or maybe my body is in need of the boost from the “mother” the Turmeric or the Ginger. Whatever the case, I feel sooooooooooo much better after having my double of this hot drink. It’s super simple to put together & you can modify to suit your taste. I usually free pour & chop without measuring anything. To be fair, I haven’t had an espresso yet. I have given measured amounts in this recipe & trust that you will play with it until it tastes exactly as your body needs.
A Variation on my Apple Cider Vinegar Drink
A note about ACV: for this recipe the health benefits of the tonic are from a vinegar with a live “mother” or culture. I use Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar.

Two small & mighty fun facts:
You can use a spoon to scrape off the skin of Ginger & Turmeric much more easily than cutting off with a knife.
Turmeric stains. Consider using a dark cutting board when chopping & watch hands, knife & cutting board after chopping Turmeric.
