The precise ratios vary, but a common preparation involves diluting a tablespoon or two of the fermented apple juice product with water and then adding the juice of half a lemon.
The appeal of this mixture stems from perceived health advantages. Proponents suggest it aids in digestion, promotes weight management, and supports blood sugar regulation. Historically, the fermentation process has been valued for preserving food and potentially offering probiotic benefits. Citrus fruits, meanwhile, have long been recognized as a source of vitamin C.
