Cranberry Juice and Apple Cider Vinegar for Weight loss

Cranberry Juice and Apple Cider Vinegar Recipe

Not only does Cranberry Juice and Apple Cider Vinegar taste amazing, but it’s also a powerhouse of antioxidants and has potential health benefits.

Apple Cider Vinegar is renowned for its potential to support weight loss, regulate blood sugar levels, and even enhance skin health. Meanwhile, Cranberry Juice is rich in antioxidants, known for promoting urinary tract health and reducing the risk of certain infections. I’ve done quite a few dishes with cranberries like Cranberry Orange Cake or Cranberry Pork Tenderloin with Rosemary.

Here’s how to make Apple Cider Vinegar and Cranberry Juice:

Ingredients  

• 2 cups fresh cranberries
• 4 cups water
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup adjust to taste
• Ice cubes optional
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish optional

Instructions 

1. Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold water and remove any stems or debris.
2. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the fresh cranberries and water.
3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until the cranberries burst and the liquid starts to thicken.
4. Once the cranberries have cooked and burst, use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain the liquid into a bowl. Press down on the cranberries to extract as much juice as possible.
5. In a large pitcher, mix the freshly extracted cranberry juice with apple cider vinegar.
6. Add honey or maple syrup to the mixture, adjusting the sweetness according to your preference. Stir well to combine.
7. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the drink to chill.
8. Serve the Apple Cider Vinegar and Cranberry Juice over ice cubes if desired. Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness.
