Choosing the right Apple Cider Vinegar

Most supermarket bought ACV has been distilled which meabs that the “mother” has been removed.

The “mother” refers to the strands of proteins, enzymes and good bacteria that are present.

It’s what gives the ACV a cloudy, appearance, sometimes with a few sediments.

To ensure that you’re getting maximum from your ACV then opt for the most natural, raw, unfiltered and organic version anyway.So, how do you make a palatable drink with apple cider vinegar?

It is also really simple to make your own apple cider vinegar and best of all it can be made with scraps from peeled amd cored apples.
