The Apple Cider Vinegar Companion: Simple Ways to Use Nature's Miracle Cure

by Suzy Scherr

Overview

The multitasking superfood is delicious, too!

Generations of devotees have sworn by apple cider vinegar: cooking with it, swigging it by the spoonful, and using it as a remedy for just about any ailment. Why? The tart, fermented flavor certainly can add a punch to any recipe, but it’s also great for weight-loss, digestion, and overall good health. It makes a mean natural cleanser, relieves muscle soreness, and even treats bug bites. The Apple Cider Vinegar Companion is the essential guide, with information on how to make your own, and tips and tricks for using it for household tasks. This book stands out from similar titles because of the wonderful recipes, such as:

• Dill Pickle Potato Salad
• Easy Homemade Farmer’s Cheese
• Homemade Spiced Ketchup
• Raspberry-Peach Shrub
• Green Tea and Apple Cider Vinegar Tonic
