Fiyaaaaaaaa-haaaaa-haaaaaa! Cider.
If you’re not on the fire cider train, then you best get a ticket and come aboard! (omg I’m so sorry about all of this.)
Does it work? Who really knows. Could it help? Well I think so! Look at everything in it. Nothing but aromatics, herbs, cinnamon, vinegar and honey. How could it not be doing something amazing?
Also, I know this might sound cuckoo, but I love the flavor. It’s punchy, spicy, has a bite, with a hint of sweet. It’s so good! Do the kids like it?
Um.
Hmmmm.
Never mind.
It’s very simple. You cut up an onion, a lemon, an orange, grab a few garlic cloves, some rosemary, cinnamon sticks, some turmeric and ginger root if you have it. Violently squeeze it all in a jar, add the apple cider vinegar and honey, and shake the crud out of it. That’s it.
A tablespoon every morning is what this crew does (during the winter months) and I feel like it helps.
Now, to be fair, those of you who know Natalie in person will be like, “Bull honky! That girl’s had a nasty cough!” You guys I just made this. So we’re a little late. We’re fine. It’s all fine. Stop yelling at me.
It’s a good gut punch, if anything. Be sure and take it after you’ve had a little food, or else the apple cider vinegar will make your stomach feel weird for about a minute or so. It’s like, WHOA. But I love a good whoa.
I feel like you love a good whoa. Right? Who’s in for whoas?!
Acidic and vibrant. Lots of spice. Lots of sass. I dare you to make one and take a little bit everyday and just see how you feel.
While we’re at it, let’s howl at the moon in our underpants!
