Here are the basic ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups of filtered water
• 1T to 2T apple cider vinegar (start with less if you are not used to drinking this magical elixir)
• 1T to 3T honey
• Juice of half a lemon
• Dash of cayenne pepper
• Dash of tumeric
• Dash of cinnamon

The way I like to do this is put the lemon juice, honey, and spices into the mug while I bring water to 190° in my electric kettle….or just before boil on a stove top. We’re not brewing anything here, so no need to get the water to boiling, plus you can drink it faster if it doesn’t get too hot.

After adding the hot water, I finish by stirring it with a fork to get the honey fully dissolved, and then top with the apple cider vinegar.

Making this tea has become a nightly ritual for me, and sometimes I sneak in an extra cup mid-day just because I crave it so much.

Some other ingredients you can consider adding are:

• fresh ginger
• cloves
• nutmeg
