Ingredients

4 cups cold water
0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh ginger grated
0.25 cup maple syrup or molasses adjust to taste

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.
Serve cold over ice and enjoy this refreshing, beneficial drink.

Notes

For best flavor, use fresh ginger and allow the Switchel to chill for at least an hour. Adjust the amount of sweetener and ginger to your taste. A pinch of cayenne or a squeeze of lemon juice can add an extra kick. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.
