HOW TO MAKE TRADITIONAL SWITCHEL (HAYMAKER'S PUNCH)

How To Make Traditional Switchel (Haymaker's Punch) image

Try this old-fashioned four-ingredient hydrating drink recipe that used to be known as "Haymaker's Punch"

Provided by Tracey Besemer

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

a 2-quart mason jar with a lid
a fine-mesh strainer
2" chunk of fresh ginger
1 lemon, halved and juiced, pips removed
1/3 cup of apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup of raw honey or maple syrup
2 cups of hot water

Steps:

Finely chop or grate your ginger and add it to your mason jar. I prefer to grate my ginger with a zester as it does a better job of releasing the juices. (I like this one because it also does a fantastic job with citrus zest and even after eight years of use it's still sharp, ask my fingers how I know!)
Pour the lemon juice (and zest if used), apple cider vinegar, honey or maple syrup and water into your jar.
Screw the lid down tightly and shake the dickens out of it. You want all of your honey dissolved and a little frothy tornado of ginger bits in there.
Loosen your lid a little and let your jar sit out on the counter for 24-36 hours. This gives the naturally occurring yeast in the honey and ginger a chance to do a little fermenting and makes your switchel a bit fizzier.
Strain your switchel through the strainer into a clean jar or Grolsch-style bottle.

SWITCHEL

Switchel image

This is an early (pre-Civil War) drink used by farm workers in the field. Vinegar helps to keep potassium levels up, the honey soothes the throat during a hard day of haymaking, and the ginger helps with digestion and absorbing the potassium. Also called haymaker's punch. It is very tart, probably takes a bit of getting used to.
