How to do an apple cider vinegar detox

The basic recipe is as follows:

• (For beginners) 1 to 2 tablespoons of raw apple cider vinegar or (For pro's) a 30ml shot

• 250ml glass of mineral or purified water

• 1 to 2 tablespoons sweetener (organic honey, maple syrup, or 4 drops of Stevia)

There are many variations of this basic drink. Some include adding lemon juice. Others add a dash of cayenne pepper. With an apple cider vinegar detox, you consume this type of drink regularly for a set period of time — several days to a month or more. I would personally recommend taking it in the morning a couple hours before eating. Many people choose to consume it three times each day: upon waking, midmorning, and again mid-afternoon. I personally enjoy to take as part of my 16/8 intermittent fast to really reap the benefits.
