Switchel is a refreshing and electrolyte packed beverage that predates refrigeration. Also called Haymaker's Punch, Swizzy, or Ginger Water it was an important hydrator for fieldworkers.
2 Tbs unfiltered apple cider vinegar
3 Tbs raw honey or molasses (or a combination of both, which I prefer)
2 inch piece of ginger root peeled and finely minced
4 cups water
1/2 of a fresh lime juiced and zested
1 chile de arbol, deseeded
In a mason jar combine ingredients, cover, and shake to mix up, refrigerate overnight. Serve switchel in the Swizzy Buck recipe.
