Title: Jogging In a Jug
Categories: Beverage, Health, D/g
Yield: 6 Servings
16 oz Apple juice
16 oz Grape juice
16 oz Cranberry juice
6 T Natural Cider Vinegar*
3 T Honey
* Natural Cider Vinegar *with* the mother, found in health food stores
(I use Bragg's brand). Pasteurized apple cider vinegar from the
grocery store has not been effective for me.
Mix the portions in a gallon jug. Keep in refrigerator. One serving
is an 8 oz glass. We use a concentrate mix of cran/grape instead of
the separate juices. This mixture is adapted from one we got on the
Cooking Echo years ago. I'm sure that others could adapt it to their
tastes. Proportions are not rigid<G>, but make sure you get enough
vinegar in the mix and that it is the right sort of vinegar.
There is a commercial (high priced) "Joggin' In a Jug" mixture that
can be found in some stores, but I have never tried it.
This is an old folk's remedy that comes out of Vermont. A man named
Dr. Jarvis was said to have spread the news all over Vermont about the
benefits of taking apple cider vinegar. The older (and smarter) folks
mix one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of room
temperature water then add one tablespoon of honey to that. The apple
cider vinegar acts like a rotor rooter in your veins and the honey
gives energy.
For me, this has helped with joint aches over the years, especially in
the knees. Whether it is a placebo effect or not is undetermined, but
I doubt that it does any harm.
