APPLE CIDER VINEGAR ELIXIR

2 cups of natural sparkling water

2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar 

(unpasteurized and unfiltered, we like Bragg's) 

1 tsp maple syrup

stir well and add ice

**If you take ACV between meals or before going to bed, always rinse your mouth to avoid any 

prolonged vinegar contact with the enamel on your teeth. 

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR HAIR TONIC

2 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped

1 cup apple cider vinegar

5 drops lavender oil

3-5 cups warm water

Fill a large lidded jar with vinegar. Add rosemary. Fill the rest of the container with warm water. Store in a cool, dry place for about a week. Dilute the cider mixture with three cups of warm water and mix well with lavender oil. Use the tonic as a rinse after you shampoo for super shiny hair (follow with conditioner as needed) or keep in a spray bottle and spritz on hair to absorb oil.

.

Note: if you have color-treated or processed hair, it’s possible the tonic can effect your color. Check with your stylist before you mix up this magic!
