Enjoy this old-fashioned ginger water recipe, also known as Switchel or Haymaker&#039;s Punch, as a refreshing drink to help rehydrate you after working in the hot sun all day.

Ginger Water (Switchel or Haymaker's Punch)

brown sugar

molasses (blackstrap)

Dissolve brown sugar and molasses in vinegar, stir well.

Add ginger and stir.

Pour into a quart-sized jar and add enough water to fill to the top.

Store in the fridge, and serve over ice. Makes 4 servings.

I saw this recipe and thought to myself, well, maybe you could stomach this. I made up a batch using different sweeteners because I'm keto. I tasted along the way to get it to where I liked it. At the end of the process, I absolutely fell in love! I couldn't wait for it to cool in the fridge so I poured it over ice. I have been trying to figure out a way for me to get ACV in and couldn't manage it, you provided a delicious way to accomplish the goal. I think this will get me off the sugar-free flavored water as well! Thank you so much for this.

Can this be made ahead and canned in jars?  This way it could be put in the refrigerator the night before so you don't "forget" to make it and then wish you had it.

I love how well you explain the steps and why they're important. Reading/watching your recipe details have inspired me to get back to basics in my kitchen.

Melissa, thanks for the recipe!
Last winter you mentioned you had gotten off your thyroid meds and I am very interested to know how you did it...you had mentioned you would write about it, I may have missed it or it was censored...but would love to know. You can email me directly,
Thanks, Sheila

I read that vinegar drinks have been popular since Babylonian times.

I made raspberry switchel just yesterday and posted it. Too funny we are on the same wavelength. I will try the ginger only recipe next time. It's so delicious!

I have been wanting to try this for years and thought it would be complicated. I am amazed at how easy it is and all of the different ways that you can make it your own! Thank you for the recipe, the references, and the cookbook recommendation. I always love getting your emails and heading over to your website. I always feel inspired!
