Warm Lemon, Apple Cider Vinegar and Ginger Drink

Recipe by Evelyn Marcella Rivera

A warm, tangy, lightly spiced drink of apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, ginger, cinnamon, and a dash of cayenne, with optional honey. A quick, low-calorie morning beverage that comes together in minutes.

  • Total Time4 minutes
  • Yield1 drink 1x
  • DietVegan, Vegetarian

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 16 ounces warm or hot water
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (raw, unfiltered if available)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice (fresh)
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger (or fresh grated)
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 dash cayenne pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tsp raw honey (optional; use maple syrup to keep vegan)

Instructions

  1. Warm the Water: Heat the water until hot but comfortable to drink, not boiling.
  2. Mix: Add the apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, ground ginger, cinnamon, cayenne, and honey (if using) and whisk together until well combined. The ground spices will not fully dissolve, so stir between sips.
  3. Serve: Best served warm, but drink at your desired temperature.

Notes

Drink the apple cider vinegar diluted (as here) rather than straight to be easier on tooth enamel and the stomach. Start with less cayenne and build up. Adjust the honey or vinegar to taste. Use maple syrup or omit the honey to keep it vegan. If you have acid reflux, a sensitive stomach, or take medication, consider checking with your doctor before making acidic drinks a daily habit. Enjoy it as a pleasant warm drink rather than a health treatment.
