From a hand-written index card given to me at a dance years ago, in response to some serious pleading on my part:
————————————————————-
Switchel
1 cup cider vinegar
2 cups white sugar
2 tsp ground ginger
1 gallon cool water.
Mix and serve to men in hayfield.
————————————————————-
If you’re not working in the hayfields, drink served over ice. You can certainly half this or double it and adjust the sweetness to taste. If you are working in the hayfields, common wisdom is that drinking things that are just barely cool is better for you, so omit the ice. Enjoy!
