Ginger Lemon Switchel (Homemade Electrolyte Drink)

Instructions

Add the water, ginger, and lemons to a blender pitcher and blend. (If it is too thick to strain, add another cup of water.) Strain the liquid into a large 2-quart jar or pitcher. (Keep the pulp-see notes.) Rinse the blender pitcher. Return the strained liquid to the blender pitcher and add the apple cider vinegar, honey, and salt. Blend until incorporated. Now, taste it to adjust the flavor with more honey or ACV. NOTE: The ginger will make it taste very strong, even spicy, but you want it that way. The flavor mellows when mixed to serve. Pour it into a 2-quart mason jar or pitcher and cover with a lid. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze. Shake well before serving.
