ACV Vinegar

Several times now while researching something on the internet I’ve come across benefits of APPLE CIDER VINEGAR or ACV for short. So as I do with most things I go off researching ACV (instead of what my original search was for). I came across something so scientific that it went right over my head with a tailgate saying “boring”. Then I came across a 12 ounce once a day ACV drink recipe and made it. It had 2 Tablespoons of vinegar which I just happened to have a large jar of organic ACV. I have several times done plain shots of that ACV but I shudder every time so it’s not a daily habit. Who knew I was going to fall in Love at first sip. I was glad I only made one glass and I’m hopeful that down the road it has some benefit, I really don’t care which benefit. I know it helped a lot of people with digestive issues of which I don’t have. It supposedly helps with brain fog which I enjoy. We’ll see six months down the road.

This morning’s challenge was to multiply the recipe by five and make a picture so I can readily have a glass a day. All went well until I added the last ingredient before stirring. It was two and a half teaspoons of cinnamon which decided to land on top of the water and stay a dry powder form. I stirred it to make dust and have dry cinnamon powder stick to my stirring stick. Eventually some tiny lumps started to sink to the bottom, the water also started turning a tint of cinnamon. I never realized how impossible it is to work with. Maybe I need to blend the powder with a liquid before pouring it in.

Guess what while writing this I resolved my own problem. Next time I make this delightful drink I am going to use a cinnamon stick instead of that damn impossible powder that I dearly love in most cooking recipes.

Just for the hell of it I might mention that I have always had a variety of vinegars in my cupboards because I could actually put vinegar on anything and like it. There are many flavors from other cultures of vinegar which I have many. As much as I love coconut in all things, turns out that coconut vinegar is the only one I disliked.
