Apple cider vinegar recipe for detox

Ingredients –

2 tbsp organic apple cider vinegar

The glass of water (can be hot or cool depending on taste preference)

Method –

Mix together the vinegar, a good squeeze of lemon, the honey and a shake of cinnamon. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
