Haymaker's Punch recipe (aka switchel)

Are you hot? Thirsty?... here's a solution.

Waaaaaaay back in the super crinkly days (Pioneer days), they used to make haymaker's punch as a refreshing, nutritious drink. Here is that recipe, it sounds bad but it is really delicious, quenching and nourishing for your body. Also, it is a probiotic.

In a 1/2 gal (2 litre) jar:

2" Ginger, sliced

1 Lemon, quartered

5 Tbsp Honey or Maple Syrup (we recommend maple)

1/4C Apple Cider Vinegar (on the lighter side of 1/4C)

Fill the rest of the jar with water 


Shake well, let sit in fridge 24 hours before drinking.

Will last a week or so in the fridge.

    1. I'm sorry you didn't like it but the recipe just posted 3 hours ago and the recipe says 'let sit in fridge 24 hours'... maybe try again.

  3. This sounds delicious and super healthy.

    Mr. LW already takes apple cider vinegar regularly for health reasons and I know ginger and lemon have many health benefits too. A winning combination in health benefits and taste.

    Hoping to give this a try! :)
