How to Make Garlic, Lemon & Apple Cider Vinegar Juice
Here comes the beautiful hands-on part — you’re just moments from your first glass.
Step 1: Prep your garlic
Peel and lightly crush the garlic cloves. Crushing helps release allicin, the compound linked to many of garlic’s wellness benefits.
Step 2: Juice your lemons
Fresh lemon juice is essential. Bottled lemon juice simply won’t deliver the same brightness or nutrients.
Step 3: Combine everything
Add garlic, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and water to your blender.
If you’re mixing by hand, place everything in a jar with a tight lid and shake.
Step 4: Blend or shake
Blend for about 10–15 seconds, just enough to combine.
Don’t worry — you’re not trying to purée the garlic into soup.
Step 5: Strain (optional)
If you prefer a smoother drink, strain through a fine mesh sieve.
Step 6: Add honey
This step is optional, but a drizzle of honey rounds everything out perfectly.
Step 7: Enjoy immediately
This juice is best consumed fresh, ideally in the morning.
Suggestions for When & How to Drink It
- Morning on an empty stomach: Helps wake up the digestive system.
- Before meals: May support digestion and help reduce bloating.
- As a daily wellness shot: Just a couple of ounces if you prefer it more concentrated.
You can adjust the water to make it stronger or more diluted to suit your taste.
Tips for Making This Juice Even Better
Because I promised you versatile… and here’s proof!
🌿 Use raw garlic
Raw garlic contains the highest amount of active compounds.
🌿 Let garlic rest
Let crushed garlic sit for 5–10 minutes before blending; this helps activate allicin.
🌿 Choose high-quality ACV
Raw, organic apple cider vinegar with “the mother” is best.
🌿 Drink it fresh
The nutrients and enzymes are most potent right after preparation.
🌿 Add warm water
Warm water (not hot) makes the drink gentler and easier to sip.
🌿 Start small
If you’re new to tonics, begin with ¼ cup and work your way up.

- Refrigerator: Up to 24 hours in a sealed jar.
