The drink is easy to make with readily available ingredients in the kitchen.

This recipe is similar to apple cider vinegar and lemon juice but needs more ingredients to make this tea, which can benefit in many ways other than weight loss.

About the recipe

Generally, if we come across the word tea, we expect it to have black tea leaves or green tea leaves to make the tea, but apple cider vinegar tea does not contain any leaves and is a simple detox drink.

The recipe uses apple cider vinegar(ACV) as the main ingredient and spices such as cayenne pepper to make your morning tea.

This recipe can be made as a hot tea using hot or warm water or cold using cold water or water at room temperature.

The tea uses lemon, honey, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper as the main ingredients in addition to apple cider vinegar, diluting it using water for drinking early in the morning.

I am sharing a quick way of making this apple cider vinegar tea which can also be variated in other ways with other healthy ingredients, which I will mention below.

Look at the ingredients below and look out for making the apple cider vinegar tea with other variations below.

Variations

Spices: Adding spices, such as ginger powder, effectively burns fat or soothes colds and coughs.

You can also substitute cayenne pepper with ginger powder or add it to cayenne pepper.

Cayenne pepper and ginger are powerful ingredients in any tea recipe or detox drink.

Honey alternative: If you have diabetes and want to be low on sugar, skip adding honey or use safe sweeteners such as stevia or a zero-calorie sweetener.

Honey is also a form of sugar; although it is natural but is a better option than regular sugar for managing sugar levels.

Another alternative to honey is maple syrup, a better option to reduce the sugar in the drink.

Lemon: If you like to add some lemon slices, add one or two.

Dilution: The drink can be hard to consume, and if you find it so, add more water and dilute the drink by adding more water as per requirement before consuming.

When to drink the tea?

Apple cider vinegar tea gives the best results when we consume it early morning on an empty stomach, but you can also have it before any meal.

Drink it before meals but avoid drinking it during bedtime as ACV is too sour and can affect your teeth and throat at night.

It is a safe option to drink during the day and drink it twice or thrice a week for better digestion and metabolism, to burn fat, and boost immunity.

Tips

If you do not have all the ingredients mentioned in the recipe, add lemon slices to ACV, dilute the apple cider vinegar and lemon juice with water, and consume immediately before a meal.

Also, check out my other ACV recipe, which is apple cider vinegar and honey which is another quick detox drink to consume on a regular basis.

Drinking it before a meal can quickly help suppress the appetite and avoids overeating, which can help burn the existing calories and thus lead you to lose those extra pounds.

If stored in the fridge, consume within a day as the ingredients are mixed in the tea and may not taste the same if stored for a long time.
