Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1.5 cup filtered water pure and clean
- 2 tbsp raw apple cider vinegar must contain 'the mother'
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice about half a lemon
- 1 tsp raw honey or maple syrup for vegan option
- 0.25 tsp ground ginger or 1 inch fresh grated ginger
- 0.125 tsp ground turmeric for anti-inflammatory benefits

Notes
For best results, use organic apple cider vinegar with 'the mother' visible. If using fresh ginger, strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve before drinking. You can prep the dry spice mix in advance for a faster morning routine. Always rinse your mouth with plain water after drinking to protect tooth enamel from the acidity.
