Apple cider vinegar has some great advantages for the body. Research suggests that consuming apple cider vinegar could lower cholesterol levels and blood sugar, as well as aid weight loss.
However, despite only one or a couple of teaspoons a day being needed, some might not enjoy the sharp and acidic taste.
Obviously, you do not drink it straight up – it must be diluted before drinking. Even so, for some people the taste is still too strong for them.
Fortunately there are some simple ways to help your intake of apple cider vinegar be a pleasant one. In this article we shall take a look at how to make apple cider vinegar taste good.
Make The Apple Cider Vinegar Water Sweeter
It is likely that you take apple cider vinegar diluted in a glass of water. This is the one of the easiest ways to dilute the acidic vinegar ready to drink.
However, water does not taste of anything. This means that you are tasting diluted and watered down apple cider vinegar.
If you do not like the taste to start with, then using just water will likely not help much.
Fortunately, there are healthier ways to add in some sweet flavor without reaching for the sugar or sweeteners.
You can do this by filling a cup of water with the apple cider vinegar, and adding in juice from half a side of lemon, and a teaspoon of honey.
You will find that it does have a slightly tart taste to it still, but it will be much more manageable. The honey will cut into that sharpness and provide a delicious sweet hit.
Create A Spicy Drink
For a spicy hit that is perfect for when you are feeling under the weather, you could try using it to create a delicious tonic. This is also a sure fire way to mask the flavor of the vinegar too.
To create, boil eight ounces of water until it is hot and then add in apple cider vinegar, raw honey, lemon juice, fresh ginger, cayenne pepper, black pepper, turmeric, and ground cinnamon.
You may want to experiment with different amounts of each to get the flavoring you are happy with.
Add Apple Cider Vinegar To A Salad Dressing
While drinking a vinegar-based drink is not something that is commonplace, after all, it is not like you can just buy it at Starbucks, it is a great thing to add to something like a salad.
More often than not, a healthy addition to a salad is balsamic vinegar. If you are struggling to get your daily apple cider vinegar intake, then you could try using it as a salad dressing.
While you might not like the tartness in drink form, it is likely you will prefer it more in a delicious salad. The leaves and so on will have their own strong and wonderful flavors.
The apple cider vinegar is slightly – just slightly – sweeter and will complement your lunch.
Take Apple Cider Vinegar Supplements
Whether it is because you do not have time to make an apple cider vinegar (see also: When Is The Best Time To Drink Apple Cider Vinegar?)‘drink’ every day, or the taste is so severe to you that you avoid it, another good way of taking it is through supplement form.
Apple cider vinegar is quite a strong form of acid, so taking it in a pill form can stop you from taking too much of it each day. It will also mean that you do not taste that ‘’yucky’ acidic taste too.
Pill form can also help you to stick to a routine of taking apple cider vinegar because it is quick, convenient, and you can do it at the same time each day.
Add Apple Cider Vinegar To A Dish
If you want even more ideas on how to add apple cider vinegar to food, then you will be excited to know that it makes a great addition to dishes.
It can be used within a marinade, or even as a pickling agent for the likes of pickled onions and other homemade pickle varieties.
Take a look online and there are sure to be a lot of recipes that call for apple cider vinegar. It is a great way to get your daily intake of apple cider vinegar without having to taste it on its own.
Vhew Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies
As well as pill supplements, you can digest apple cider vinegar in gummy form. While you can buy these, you can also make your own.
If you are looking to make your own, you will need a few ingredients and a little bit of know-how. Firstly, you will need molds to create the gummies.
The best types are made out of silicone. This is because the gummies will be easier to remove.
Add in apple juice, apple cider vinegar, honey and a gelatin (or agar powder) into a bowl and mix. Place the mixture into the molds and allow to cool.
Once ready, you will be able to take a supplement each day.
Plus, they will be fun to make and super delicious! Just like the spicy drink, play around with the mixture to find out what sweetness best suits your own palette.
