Welcome, friends! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that serves dual purposes: amazingly refreshing and also boosting oral health. Better still, it uses one of my favorite kitchen staples, also known as liquid gold – Apple Cider Vinegar! Introducing the ACV Breath Freshener Recipe, a swift concoction that’ll recharge your day with just a few simple ingredients. Think fresh mint, tangy apple cider vinegar, a whisper of honey, and the soothing touch of vanilla. These ingredients whirl together like dancers on a ballroom floor and unite in a spectacular symphony of flavors!
Ingredients List
For this masterfully simple concoction, you’ll need:
- ½ cup of distilled water
- 1 teaspoon of raw, unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)
- 6-8 fresh mint leaves
- A pinch of sea salt (optional)
- 10 drops of mint-flavored liquid stevia or 1 tablespoon of honey
- A couple of vanilla pods for a hint of sweetness (alternatively, use ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract)
Instructions
1. Start by heating the distilled water but be sure not to bring it to a boil. Warm water helps the ingredients blend better.
2. Toss in your fresh mint leaves into the warm water, making sure to bruise them a bit beforehand to release their minty freshness.
3. Now’s the time when the star ingredient makes its entrance. Stir in the apple cider vinegar.
4. To balance the tartness, add your choice of sweetener – the mint-flavored stevia drops or honey work charm.
5. Finally, toss in your vanilla pods or extract for a soothing contrast to the fresh mint and tangy vinegar.
6. Give the concoction a good stir, let it sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld, and then strain it into a glass container.
Yup, it’s that simple!
