Whether you call it Haymaker's Punch, Switchel Or Nature's Gatorade... this is an easy concoction to make to keep handy around your home; especially in the summer months when the heat and humidity are prevalent.
This fabulous caffeine-free alternative drink is not only refreshing, but also supplies your body with minerals, electrolytes, vitamins and is full of anti-oxidants.
With just filtered, or spring, water and four other ingredients, you can mix this up and drink it immediately.
Unlike some lacto-fermented sodas and other fermented options, which you have to wait weeks to be ready for consumption, this Haymaker's punch is best when first mixed and over ice. Adding in some fresh mint leaves or lemon balm leaves adds a special touch and burst of flavor too.
Have no fear about the apple cider vinegar in the recipe... you hardly even notice it.
