PCOS Anti-Inflammatory Tonic: Apple Cider Vinegar & Turmeric Elixir

1. Heat the water until warm but not boiling (about 120°F/50°C) - boiling water will destroy beneficial enzymes in the apple cider vinegar. 2. If using fresh turmeric and ginger, peel and finely grate them using a microplane or the smallest holes on a cheese grater. 3. Add the apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, and black pepper to the warm water. 4. Stir vigorously until all ingredients are well combined. A small whisk works best for this. 5. Allow the mixture to steep for 3-5 minutes to extract maximum benefits from the spices. 6. If desired, add honey or monk fruit sweetener and stir until dissolved. 7. Pour into a glass and drink immediately, ideally 15-20 minutes before a meal for best blood sugar support. 8. Note: The turmeric will settle to the bottom, so stir occasionally while drinking or use a straw that reaches the bottom of the glass.
