HAYMAKER'S GINGER SWITCHEL



Haymaker's Ginger Switchel image

Ginger switchel or Haymaker's Punch is a traditional nonalcoholic vinegar-based drink whose sourness was offset by a hefty dose of ginger and spices; it was named for the eighteenth-century farmers who drank it - literal haymakers. This ginger punch is flavored with lemon juice and sweetened with honey and molasses for a refreshing drink that quenches even the fiercest summer thirst. Includes chilling time. From Eating Well, July/August 2008.

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

9 cups water, divided
1/4 cup minced fresh ginger
1/4 cup honey or 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup molasses
3/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
fresh berries, mint sprigs (to garnish) or lemon slice (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Combine 3 cups water with ginger in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover and let infuse for 15 minutes.
  • Strain the ginger-infused water into a pitcher, pressing on the ginger solids to extract all the liquid. Add honey (or maple syrup) and molasses; stir until dissolved. Stir in lemon juice, vinegar and the remaining 6 cups water. Chill until very cold, at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Stir the punch and serve in tall glasses over ice cubes. Garnish with berries, mint sprigs or lemon slices, if desired.
  • Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh lemon, ginger, and mint will give your switchel the best flavor.
  • Adjust the sweetness to your liking: If you like your switchel less sweet, use less maple syrup or honey. You can also use a different sweetener, such as stevia or monk fruit.
  • Make a big batch: Switchel is a great drink to have on hand for hot summer days. You can make a big batch and store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Get creative with your flavors: You can add other ingredients to your switchel, such as cucumber, berries, or herbs. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite flavor.
