Some people gargle with it. I take a few sips every few hours. When I sip it, I make sure it lingers in my throat before swallowing. Don't do it on an empty stomach. It burns a lot.

I was never a "homeopathic" kind of guy. But, I hate sore throats and was open to trying anything. I started about 5 years ago and never looked back. Sore throats went from multiple days to maybe 24 hours.

Try to get the vinegar "with the mother." The mother is almost part of the crushed apples used during pressing/fermentation.
