VitaMeataVegeMin - How I drink
vinegar
Into a quart
sized Mason jar pour in a glug, glug of Bragg’s Organic Apple Cider
Vinegar and a heaping tiny spoonful of organic stevia sweetener.
Add ice and water to fill. Drink before dinner. Drink two of these
during hot weather. It helps to curb my appetite and keep me
hydrated.
