How people typically make this (DIY version)

Ingredients

• 1 quart raw apple cider vinegar with the mother

• 2–3 tbsp fresh ginger, grated

• 1–2 tbsp fresh turmeric, grated (or 1 tsp dried)

• 1–2 cinnamon sticks

• 1 tsp whole black peppercorns

• 1–2 tsp fenugreek seeds

Instructions

1. Add all ingredients to a clean glass jar.

2. Pour ACV over everything until fully submerged.

3. Cover with plastic wrap under the lid (important — vinegar corrodes metal).

4. Seal and store in a cool, dark place.

5. Shake gently every day.

6. Let infuse 2–4 weeks, then strain (or leave solids in, like the photo).

How people usually take it

• 1–2 teaspoons in water

• Once daily, often before meals

• Some add lemon or honey to mellow the bite

 Always diluted — straight ACV can be rough on teeth and stomach.

Why these ingredients are used (non-medical, traditional use)

• ACV – slows carb digestion for some people

• Cinnamon & fenugreek – traditionally linked to glucose control

• Ginger & turmeric – anti-inflammatory support

• Black pepper – helps turmeric absorption

Gentle reality check

This isn’t medicine and doesn’t replace prescriptions — it’s a supportive tonic, not a cure. If someone has diabetes, hypoglycemia, or is on meds, it’s smart to check with a healthcare provider first.
