Rosemary Peach Drinking Vinegar

I first encountered drinking vinegar at a local Thai restaurant a few years ago, and the beverage has become a favorite “mocktail” in the time since. You know, something to serve up when everyone else might be enjoying wine, cider, or beer. (Or even kombucha, which I’ve found aggravates my interstitial cystitis–an autoimmune bladder condition.) In this Rosemary Peach Drinking Vinegar, the combination of tart vinegar and sparkling water pack a bit of a punch depending on how much of each you add to your glass, while the infusion of fruit and herbs give your palate plenty to consider. Rosemary and peaches are one of my favorite flavor combinations, but you can also use apricots or nectarines or swap the rosemary with thyme for a similar effect. And while the drinking vinegar needs to marinate for a good five days or so before its potent enough to enjoy, it only takes a few minutes to prepare!

I know diet change can feel overwhelming. I started the autoimmune protocol at a time when only four other people were writing about it, and over the years, I’ve striven to give you the resources I wish I’d had when I got started. Not just recipes, but ways to implement them. My first ebook 28 Days of AIP is a meal plan that will help you get going (or get back on the wagon) with as little fuss as possible. With a variety of simple, delicious recipes, plenty of leftovers so you don’t spend all your free time in the kitchen, and shopping lists ready to go, all you have to do is follow the plan, then sit down and enjoy your meal!
