I only heard about switchel recently and thought about trying it, but I'm not very fond of vinegar unless it's made into a sweet/bread and butter pickle type flavor. I like the idea of using honey and lemon instead of the molasses and vinegar (although I do like molasses). I'm going to have to try this!
What is your recipe? Liz and hot and humid Missouri, USA. It's always this way in July/August, but I never really get used to it. The humidity and heat combined seem to drain all my energy. ***** I was mostly drinking tea and switchel; I have discovered that I can freeze switchel concentrate in half-cup containers and boop up water I've picked up along the way. Switchel is an eighteenth-century hayhand's drink consisting of ginger, molasses, vinegar, and optional oatmeal. I substitute honey and freshly-squeezed lemon juice for the molasses and vinegar.
