Switchel

Ingredients

• Water

  Plain, clean water

  8 cup or 1.89kg

• Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar

  Apple Cider Vinegar

  8 Tbsp or 120g

• Pure U.S. Honey

  Golden Blossom Honey

  170g

• McCormick Ground Ginger

  Ground Ginger

  1 tsp or 5g

Directions

1. Place all ingredients together in a large bowl and mix very well. You can add ice and drink the switchel immediately at this point if you like. If you prefer a more carbonated beverage, then take this additional step: slowly pour mixture into large glass bottles with wire and ball stoppers and fasten the lids. Alternatively, you can mix up the switchel with cold, sparkling mineral water and get the bubbly right away without bottling. Leave the sealed bottles on the counter for at least 2-3 days (up to a week or two is fine also if your kitchen is very cool) to add carbonation and then refrigerate. Open in the sink slowly and only when the beverage is very cold to prevent explosions or the switchel foaming out of the bottle and making a mess. If you used fresh ginger, sieve the switchel as you pour it from the bottle into your glass. Sip and enjoy either alone or with ice. Refrigerate unused portions in glass containers only. Recipe Notes: 2.5 Tbsp fresh grated ginger may be substituted for the ginger powder.
