Switchel Recipe

An old-timey version of Gatorade, this drink has been quenching our thirst lately on hot days. Did you know apple cider vinegar aids with digestion, helps your body absorb minerals better, and even improves your skin? Give this recipe a try and let us know what you think!

Ingredients:
This recipe is taken from The Farm House Cookbook by Susan Herrmann Loomis:

1 cup sugar*
7 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger or 1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
8 cups cold water

Directions:
Mix all ingredients together in a large bottle or jar, and shake thoroughly. Refrigerate before drinking. Makes 2 quarts. *You can swap the sugar for honey or maple syrup, if you like. Just heat the switchel before pouring it in the jar so that the sweetener dissolves fully.
