This powerful (and delicious) apple cider vinegar detox recipe helps expel toxic buildup and fight bloating better than any tea we know of!
An apple cider vinegar detox is more than just another fleeting food trend. For many, it’s become both a division of daily life, as well as a subtle, delicious lifestyle hack. Apple cider vinegar is no new kid on the health and wellness block—for thousands of years, it’s been recognized for healing properties ranging from immunity and weight balance to blood sugar reduction and cholesterol control. Taking apple cider vinegar for bloating is even common practice among burgeoning health advocates as a means of balancing gastrointestinal stress put on our bodies by modern (i.e. poor) diets.
Many health claims about apple cider vinegar are largely anecdotal. If you’re inherently skeptical (as I was for the longest time), this may scare you off. But my suggestion would be to not let that deter you from experimenting with apple cider vinegar for bloating or from doing an apple cider vinegar detox (often referred to as an ACV detox). As more and more people turn to apple cider vinegar for bloating and detoxification, more and more research arises in support.
Before diving into this ACV detox tea recipe, we’ll look at a few of the detoxifying benefits of the main ingredients (ACV being one of them) as well as the science supporting them as superb detoxifiers.
Ingredients:
- 8 oz SkinnyFit Detox tea, brewed and chilled
- 4 cups water
- 1 lemon (or ¼ cup lemon juice)
- 1” fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp turmeric powder
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 1-2 tbsp honey
- Optional: dash of cayenne pepper
Instructions:
- Fill a medium saucepan with 4 cups of water. Remove the peels from the lemon and slice the fresh ginger and turmeric. Add the lemon peels, ginger, and turmeric (powdered or fresh) into the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 10-15 minutes.
- Juice the lemon in a pitcher or mixing bowl and add the Detox tea, apple cider vinegar, honey, and optional cayenne pepper.
- Allow the water to cool down, then strain the mixture into the pitcher. Once fully cooled down, store in the fridge in a glass jar, bottles, or pitcher.
- Drink a teacup amount each morning adding water to dilute if the flavor is too strong.
