Apple Cider Vinegar recipes

When I posted about the Health benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar I also promised to share a few recipes.

Chamomile Tincture Kit

Did you know that you can make your own herbal remedy Tinctures using ACV?  YES!  The tincture has a shorter shelf-live than using alcohol as a menstruum but it's great for people who avoid alcohol or for children.
Chamomile tincture is great for tummy aches and trouble sleeping!

Before I forget...Be sure to stop by  
The Self Sufficient HomeAcre and Black Fox Homestead this Monday (tomorrow) for a fantastic giveaway from Mary's Heirloom Seeds! 

On to the recipes!
My absolute favorite is Apple Cider Viniagrette dressing.  Delicious!
You can also drink different concoctions.  Check these out!

ACV drink

From sparkrecipes

ACV Tea

Ingredients

2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp honey
1-2 cups water

Directions

1. Boil the water in a jug.
2. While this is boiling, add the first two ingredients to a mug.
3. Pour the water into the mug to fill it, and stir until disolved.
Drink up! Great in winter. Makes 1 mugful as a serving.

The recipe below is one of my favorites.  It's nice and sweet so the APC is disguised.  I don't drink the very often because of the juice but it's nice on a hot sunny day out in the garden.

Sweetened ACV Elixer

from Simply Heavenly

1 1/2 cup of cold filtered water

2 tbs of apple or grape juice

2 tbs of raw apple cider vineger

1/2 tsp of cinnamon

1/2 tsp of stevia (powdered) if using liquid you only need a few drops.

Place all the ingredients together in a glass and stir until it is all mixed together. You can add a little ice if you like, and drink!
