Description
Brazilian apple cider vinegar detox drink made with lemon, honey, and spices. Refreshing, easy, and supports digestion, metabolism, and natural detox. A vibrant, gut-friendly recipe with big wellness benefits in every sip.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons dried butterfly pea flowers (optional for color)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1–2 teaspoons raw honey or maple syrup
- 500 ml (2 cups) filtered water
- 2–3 fresh lemon slices (for garnish)
- 1 cinnamon stick or 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for added metabolism support)
- Ice cubes (as desired)
- Optional: fresh ginger slices, mint, or basil leaves (for herbal boost)
Instructions
- Boil 500 ml of water in a small saucepan. If you’re using ginger slices or a cinnamon stick, add them now to infuse the water.
- Once boiling, remove the pot from heat. Add butterfly pea flowers (if using) and steep for 10 minutes. The water will turn a vibrant blue.
- Strain the liquid into a heat-resistant pitcher or mason jar. Discard solids.
- Stir in apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and honey or your chosen sweetener. Mix until fully combined.
- If using butterfly pea flower, enjoy the visual transformation when the lemon juice turns the drink from blue to purple.
- Let cool slightly. Serve over ice in glasses, garnish with fresh lemon slices, and add herbs if desired.
- Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate and consume within 24 hours for best flavor.
Notes
- If you don’t have butterfly pea flowers, you can still enjoy this drink without the color-changing effect—it won’t impact the taste or benefits.
- Want a stronger metabolism-boosting effect? Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
- Maple syrup is a great vegan alternative to honey and blends beautifully with the apple cider vinegar.
- For a sparkling version, replace still water with carbonated mineral water once cooled.
