Why This Tonic Works
Lemon is naturally rich in vitamin C and adds a fresh, tangy note that many enjoy first thing in the morning.
Ginger has traditionally been used in warming drinks and adds a gentle, comforting spice on cold days.
Apple cider vinegar is a popular addition to morning tonics, valued for its tangy flavour and long history of everyday use.
Raw honey or maple syrup adds natural sweetness and warmth, balancing the sharpness of the lemon and vinegar.
Together, they make a comforting, flavourful tonic to enjoy as part of your daily routine.
