I absolutely HATE being sick! I hate not being able to smell, or not being able to taste my food, stuffy noses, I hate it all. But on top of all of that, I really hate for my family to be sick. Especially my three year old. So I am always down to try anything that will help keep our family healthy.
I have been drinking this apple cider vinegar drink for a while now, but with all that’s going on, I have made it a requirement for my morning routine when I wake up.
If you’re looking to boost your immune system, this drink is for you!
Why You Should Drink This Apple Cider Vinegar Drink In The Morning
I drink my apple cider vinegar drink right after I wake up. For one reason, my house is super quiet and I am able to focus without my three-year-old running around attacking my legs.
But another reason is by drinking this early in the morning, it easily allows my body to quickly absorb all of the nutrients.

How I Make My Apple Cider Vinegar Drink
I make my apple cider vinegar drink by pouring a tall glass of room temperature water. You can also make this into a tea if you are looking for something hot to sip on in the morning.
Normally I do not use any measurements. I believe that our bodies will lead us in the right direction when it comes to things like this.
If you make it too strong, just add more water to your mixture and save some for the next morning.
After making my apple cider vinegar drink, I sit down and reflect on what would like to accomplish for the day and just take a moment to be in the moment.
