- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger grated

Instructions
- In a large pitcher, combine the cold water, apple cider vinegar, grated fresh ginger, and your chosen sweetener.
- Stir vigorously until the sweetener is completely dissolved.
- Taste the Switchel and adjust the sweetness, ginger, or vinegar levels to your liking.
- Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and to ensure it's thoroughly chilled.
