- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon or lime juice
- 2 teaspoons molasses or honey to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon ground or fresh ginger
Instructions
- Directions:Mix all of the ingredients (plus any other flavorings) together and let the switchel steep for at least a couple of hours so that the ginger flavor infuses the beverage. Then pour it over some ice in a mason jar, garnish with lemon slices, mint, or anything else you’d like, and enjoy!The greatest thing about switchel (besides the refreshing taste and healthy ingredients) is that it’s so versatile. You can make it by the cup or by the pitcher, all while tweaking the recipe in any way you like. However you choose to make it, switchel is one tradition worth trying!
