Instructions
- Gather Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients listed above. Having everything in one place makes the process smoother and more enjoyable.
- Measure the Apple Cider Vinegar: Take 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and pour it into a measuring spoon. This tangy ingredient is the star of our detox drink, so make sure to use a good quality one.
- Prepare the Water: Measure out 1 cup of filtered or spring water. If you prefer your drink chilled, you can use cold water or add ice cubes later.

- Incorporate Cinnamon (Optional): If you enjoy the warm flavor of cinnamon, add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the mixture. Stir well to ensure its evenly distributed.
- Taste Test: Give your detox drink a taste. If its too strong, you can add more water to dilute it to your liking. If you want it sweeter, feel free to add more honey.
- Chill and Serve: If youre using ice cubes, add them to your glass now. You can also garnish your drink with fresh apple slices for a lovely presentation.
