Thread Name: BS: Things to do with vinegar
Subject: RE: BS: Things to do with vinegar
Switchel was a traditional harvest drink - the basics were ginger and vinager and a sweetener (recipes range from very sweet to almost no sweetener at all - and from using white sugar to honey , molasses, brown suger, maple sugar, etc.) diluted with water. Very thirst quenching.

SHRUBS were fruit or herb syrups made by infusing vinager, then sweetening; diluted for drinking with water.
