helwenFamily recipe, but variations exist all over (including at Old Sturbridge Village, btw). The person mixing this may wish to tinker with the proportions, according to taste.
Ginger Water (Switchel)
1 cup Maple Syrup (or honey)
1/2 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 tsp Ginger
1/2 - 3/4 gallon Water
Basically, put the first three into a pitcher and fill it up with water.
***
This is a very useful drink for hot weather and also for folks exercising a lot. Before there were modern energy/power drinks, there was switchel -- and no added chemicals or artificial colors!
