About this dish

Apple Cider Vinegar Cinnamon Drink is a flavored beverage prepared by mixing unsweetened apple juice, water, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup.

The unsweetened apple juice shares the same acid profile as the apple cider vinegar, establishing a balanced flavor profile. Cinnamon powder is sprinkled across the surface and mixed using a shaker to prevent clumping. For an optional aromatic layer, two whole cloves can be steeped in the mixture for one to two minutes before being removed to avoid bitterness. This drink can be served cold over ice or heated gently on low heat without boiling until steaming. Serving the beverage warm releases a scent profile reminiscent of baked apple pie, making it a versatile option for different seasons.

Instructions

Read the steps as a cooking flow: prep, heat, seasoning, doneness control, and finish.

6 steps

1

Step

Pour 200 ml unsweetened apple juice and 200 ml water into a large container or shaker first.

Stir for about 10 seconds so the base tastes even and the apple flavor is not too strong.
2

Step

Add 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, then add 1 teaspoon maple syrup.

Stir with a long spoon for at least 20 seconds, checking the bottom so no syrup stays settled there.
3

Step

Sprinkle in 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon powder instead of dumping it in one spot, since it clumps easily.

Use a shaker or stir quickly until the fine powder is dispersed through the drink.
4

Step

If using 2 cloves, steep them for only 1 to 2 minutes to release aroma.

Remove them once the spice scent is noticeable, because leaving them longer can make the drink taste bitter.
5

Control

For a cold drink, fill a glass with 1 cup ice cubes and pour the mixture in slowly.

For a warm version, heat gently over low heat only until steaming, without boiling.
6

Finish

Stir once more just before serving to redistribute the settled cinnamon.

Serve immediately when the apple juice and vinegar are evenly mixed.
