A beverage comprised of fermented apple juice, citrus fruit extract, and a natural sweetener is becoming increasingly popular. The combination produces a tart yet palatable liquid often consumed for its perceived health-promoting qualities. Examples of recipes include mixing two tablespoons of the fermented juice with one tablespoon of citrus fruit extract and a teaspoon of the sweetener, diluted in water.
This beverage’s appeal lies in the purported benefits derived from its components. Historically, its base liquid has been used for medicinal purposes, with claims ranging from digestive support to blood sugar management. The addition of citrus provides vitamin C, while the sweetener offers a more palatable taste, encouraging consumption. The beverage is sometimes touted for its potential role in weight management and detoxification, although scientific evidence supporting these claims varies.
