Honey and Apple Cider Vinegar
Let us introduce you to nature’s power combo – apple cider vinegar and honey.
You may have heard people talk about the benefits of apple cider vinegar and honey when combined together. It’s been people’s go-to for everything from cold symptoms to weight issues. And now you can try it out for yourself.
What exactly is apple cider vinegar (ACV)?
ACV is a liquid made from crushing apples and squeezing out the liquid. From here, bacteria and yeast are added to start the fermentation process, in which the sugars turn into alcohol. Like other vinegars, it has a distinct, extremely sour, unpleasant taste. ACV is also highly acidic, so it’s best to dilute before consuming. How can you do that? Just add honey to balance out the sourness and overall taste.
