Just a note of warning to all those who are new to drinking Apple Cider Vinegar. Please don’t expect the drink to taste like lemonade or iced tea, because you’ll be very surprised. It’s more of an acquired taste, similar to drinking beer or coffee for the first time. But many long-time drinkers swear that Apple Cider Vinegar is as enjoyable as a cup of hot tea. For topical applications, Apple Cider Vinegar can cause a burning sensation so great care must be taken when using it on children. Proper dilution with water can lessen the corrosive effect somewhat.
Apple Cider Vinegar can also be used for taking care of pets (keeps them flea-free), gardens (it’s a natural weed killer), bathroom or kitchen (disinfects just about any surface), and even your vehicle (deodorizes overnight).
The benefits of this wonder liquid are endless. As an added bonus, you and your nan will have more stuff to talk about next Christmas.
