Switchel

Switchel

Switchel is a drink made with molasses, water, vinegar and ginger.  Like Kombucha it is sweet and sour.  You can make Switchels with any sweetener (maple, cane, juice, honey) and raw, acidic liquid (Kombucha, vinegar).

For a really wonderful switchel, combine Fizzy and Kombucha.  This drink will be more mild than Kombucha (less acidic), it will cut the caffeine, and introduce more strains of probiotics.  

Simply mix when you are ready to bottle for the 2nd Fermentation, bottle and move to cold storage or when you are ready for a drink.  

If you have a batch of Kombucha that’s gone too far, this is a great way to mellow it out.
