Apple Cider Vinegar – The Mother
The star ingredient of our mocktails: Apple Cider Vinegar, aka ACV
“The mother” in apple cider vinegar refers to the cloudy, cobweb-like substance that forms during the fermentation process. It consists of beneficial bacteria, enzymes, and proteins that are believed to contribute to the health benefits of apple cider vinegar. This natural component is often found in raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar and is thought to promote gut health and improve digestion.
