Steps:
- Finely chop or grate your ginger and add it to your mason jar. I prefer to grate my ginger with a zester as it does a better job of releasing the juices. (I like this one because it also does a fantastic job with citrus zest and even after eight years of use it's still sharp, ask my fingers how I know!)
- Pour the lemon juice (and zest if used), apple cider vinegar, honey or maple syrup and water into your jar.
- Screw the lid down tightly and shake the dickens out of it. You want all of your honey dissolved and a little frothy tornado of ginger bits in there.
- Loosen your lid a little and let your jar sit out on the counter for 24-36 hours. This gives the naturally occurring yeast in the honey and ginger a chance to do a little fermenting and makes your switchel a bit fizzier.
- Strain your switchel through the strainer into a clean jar or Grolsch-style bottle.

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Peel and chop or slice the gingerroot. When using organic ginger, there's no need to peel it; the peel has most of the root's nutrients. If you choose to leave the peel, be sure to scrub it thoroughly under running water.
- In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the ginger. Remove from heat and let steep for at least 10 minutes, or until completely cool.
- Pour the ginger water and ginger into a 1-quart jar along with the remaining water. Add the honey, apple cider vinegar, and the juice of half a lemon .
- Secure the lid, shake well, and store in the refrigerator overnight.
- Measure out about 1/2 to 1 cup of switchel to drink each day. Serve it cold or over ice, and enjoy.

HAYMAKER'S GINGER SWITCHEL
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.
