Description
A cozy, zesty drink made with lemon, ginger, and apple cider vinegar—this viral natural Zepbound recipe is easy, budget-friendly, and perfect for mornings.
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water (not boiling)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (raw, with the mother)
- Juice of ½ fresh lemon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
- Herbal tea or mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Warm the water until it’s hot but not boiling.
- Add the apple cider vinegar to a mug.
- Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon.
- Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon and stir quickly.
- Grate the fresh ginger directly into the mug.
- Add honey if using, and stir until fully dissolved.
- Add chia seeds, stir, and let sit for 5–10 minutes if you prefer a thicker texture.
- Optional: Add herbal tea or mint for extra flavor.
- Taste and adjust lemon or honey as needed. Serve warm or chilled.
Notes
Stir vigorously to prevent cinnamon from clumping.
To avoid floating spice islands, mix cinnamon with honey before adding water. This drink is flexible—adjust sweetness and spice to match your mood.
You can swap honey for maple syrup or skip sweeteners altogether. Great hot or cold—add ice and mint for a refreshing twist.
Storage & Reheating Instructions
Store leftover drink in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 3 days. Shake or stir well before drinking (cinnamon and ginger settle). Reheat gently on the stove or microwave—just until warm, not boiling.
