Why This is the Best Method:
· Preserves Potency: The beneficial enzymes and probiotics in the “mother” of the apple cider vinegar are best preserved when not diluted and stored.
· Freshness of Lemon: Fresh lemon juice loses potency and can oxidize quickly, so it’s always best squeezed fresh.
· Safety: Storing a diluted vinegar solution can potentially allow for microbial growth over time.
If You Must Store a Prepared Drink:
If you absolutely need to prepare it the night before,store it in a sealed glass jar (not plastic or metal) in the refrigerator for no more than 12 hours. Shake it well before drinking. However, this is not the ideal method and will result in a less potent and fresh-tasting beverage.
