Ingredients
- 6 cups water
- 6 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 1/2 tablespoons molasses, unsulphured if possible
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, finely grated
Method
- Measure the water, apple cider vinegar, molasses and grated ginger into a large pitcher or mason jar.
- Stir the Switchel hard enough that the dark molasses ribbons disappear into the water.
- Cover the pitcher and refrigerate the mixture for at least 24 hours so the ginger can season the vinegar base.
- Fill 8-ounce glasses with ice, pour the steeped Switchel over the top, and drink it cold.
