How to Make Brazilian Mounjaro with Apple Cider Vinegar

Warm Version

Prep your mug

Add the base

Sweeten if desired
Stir in 1 teaspoon honey, maple syrup, or a few drops of stevia or leave it unsweetened for a stronger kick.
Add warm water
Pour in 1 cup warm water (not boiling think “tea temperature”). Stir well to combine.
Optional flavor boost
Add a dash of cinnamon or cayenne here if you like spice.
Enjoy immediately
Sip slowly, and after acidic drinks like this one, the American Dental Association advises rinsing with water to help protect tooth enamel.

Iced Color-Changing Version (Butterfly Pea Tea)

Steep the color base
Brew ¼ teaspoon dried butterfly pea flowers in hot water for 5–7 minutes. Let it cool and strain.
Build the lemon-ginger mix
In a glass, stir together the apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, grated ginger, and optional sweetener.
Add optional yerba mate
Drop in 1 teaspoon brewed yerba mate, if using.
Combine and pour over ice
Add the cooled butterfly tea and mix gently. Fill with ice.

Batch Prep Option

Make 2–3 servings in a mason jar and store in the fridge for up to 48 hours. Shake before pouring.

Pro Tips & Troubleshooting

Expert Tips

Use warm (not hot) water: Too much heat can flatten the flavor and reduce the benefits of raw ACV and honey.
Grate ginger finely: The smaller the bits, the more zing you’ll get per sip and it blends better too.
Add lemon last for color magic: If using butterfly pea tea, adding lemon after mixing turns the drink from deep blue to bright purple.
Chill the tea base ahead: For the iced version, make the tea in advance and store it in the fridge. No rush, no cloudiness.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Overloading ACV: Overloading ACV is not helpful; Mayo Clinic notes small amounts are safest and many people use up to two tablespoons a day when diluted, so one tablespoon per serving is a sensible target.
Using boiling water:This kills the probiotics in raw vinegar and can make lemon taste bitter.
Skipping the stir: You’ll end up with all the vinegar at the bottom not pleasant.
Storing too long: Fresh is best. After 48 hours in the fridge, flavor starts to dull.

Shortcut: Ice Cube Mix-In

Freeze leftover steeped butterfly pea tea in ice cube trays. Pop a few in your glass with the lemon-ACV base, and you’ve got an instant color-changing cooler with no prep.

Serving, Storage & Variations

How to Serve It

Warm: Sip slowly in the morning on an empty stomach especially comforting during colder months.
Iced: Pour over ice for a cooling afternoon boost.
Pre-workout: Pre-workout, you can add yerba mate for a light lift, keeping in mind Mayo Clinic guidance that up to about 400 mg of caffeine per day is considered safe for most adults.
Fancy it up: Serve in a clear glass to show off the color shift add a mint sprig or lemon wheel for extra flair.

Storage Tips

Fridge: Store in a sealed jar for up to 48 hours. Shake before drinking, as some settling is normal.
Freezer tip: Pour butterfly pea tea into ice cube trays. Use the cubes as a quick-flavor option for future batches.
Avoid: Leaving it out at room temp for long periods the lemon and ACV can become overpowering.

Variations to Try

No caffeine: Skip yerba mate. Replace with mint tea or simply use water.
Extra fire: Add a pinch of cayenne or more ginger for a spicy version.
Low-acid version: Use half the lemon juice, more water, and skip yerba mate.
No sweetener: The lemon and ginger combo is bold enough to stand alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make Brazilian Mounjaro without butterfly pea flowers?

Yes. The butterfly pea tea is optional and only adds color and a mild earthy note. You can skip it and still enjoy the flavor and benefits of the lemon-ACV-ginger combo.

Which apple cider vinegar works best and how much should I use?

Use raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar with “the mother” about 1 tablespoon per serving. It offers the classic tang and contains natural enzymes and probiotics.

When is the best time to drink it if I have a sensitive stomach?

Early morning on an empty stomach works for many, but if the acidity feels too strong, try sipping it after a light meal or diluting it with more water.

How do I make a caffeine-free version that still tastes bright?

Just skip the yerba mate or any added tea. Stick to the base lemon, ACV, ginger, water and you’ll still get a bold, flavorful result. Mint tea is another soothing caffeine-free swap.

Can I skip honey and use stevia or maple instead?
