The whole point of gatorade is that it replaces the sodium and potassium lost from dehydration and sweat, along with some carbs. Not really sure you'd get much of any electrolytes from this drink, despite the fact it indeed sounds refreshing and delicious. Honestly, if you want a better replacement for gatorade, use liquid IV or Pedialyte. And if you want "nature's gatorade", mix coconut water with fruit.
@metaleggman18Ай бұрын

In fact, honey is often pasteurized by heating it to a high temperature for a short time to kill dangerous microbes. However, heating honey can change its composition and weaken or destroy enzymes, vitamins, and minerals. For example, heating honey to around 95 degrees can leave the health benefits intact, but prolonged exposure to high temperatures can degrade the beneficial enzymes and the taste of the honey.”

The original switchel recipe I learned is apple cider vinegar and honey diluted in water, which makes a lot more sense. Those two things were readily available to most people or could easily be obtained from nature. The mineral content of both items (from fruit and from flower) is what makes it so effective. However, I am sure if you use filtered, pasteurized ACV and pasteurized honey from bees that are fed sugar water instead of nectar from flowers, the health benefits probably aren't what they used to be, either.

Gatorade provides a short term sodium and potassium boost, but the potassium content is off scale to the sodium, and the increased sodium flushes extra water through your system, taking free calcium and magnesium ( the other 2 performance electrolytes) with it. Hydration is not how much water goes in, its keeping water in your system, and maintaining a blood homeostasis of the 4 electrolytes. Eating an avocado, with some pumpkin seeds, and then 2 hours later some salted potatoes with a glass of milk, is 4 times as effective as sports drinks. Drinking water itself is to replace lost fluid. And getting electrolytes from liquids is usally going to take out more than it puts in.

I don't even think the majority of people have ever purchased fresh ginger. I've been at the grocery store and had to tell new cashiers the names of half my produce because they've never seen it before. I had someone over to my house one time who kept staring at my fruit bowl, she finally asked , what's that? It was a kiwi. Then she point to an orange an asked me why it looked strange, I told her it was a tangerine, she said oh. And my favorite part, she said what are those things and pointed to some bulbs of ginger. I said it's garlic. She made a face and asked me, "like the kind people use for vampires?" This was an adult woman btw. I said I know your mom cooked for you growing up, and I' sure she used garlic. She said yes but only the powder kind. There is NO way she would have known what ginger was. Too many people don't cook make drinks from scratch. Or they say they do but really their tea is the powder kind you add water to, their "homemade" pie is crust from a can with pie filling from a can, baked in the oven.

The whole point of gatorade is that it replaces the sodium and potassium lost from dehydration and sweat, along with some carbs. Not really sure you'd get much of any electrolytes from this drink, despite the fact it indeed sounds refreshing and delicious. Honestly, if you want a better replacement for gatorade, use liquid IV or Pedialyte. And if you want "nature's gatorade", mix coconut water with fruit.
I was wondering why she was calling this "nature's gatorade" when the MAIN THING about Gatorade is the electrolytes the drink provides, especially when you are sicker than a dog [I remember being sick for 2 weeks and miserable but Gatorade helpped keep my strength going and always has helpped during my sick days.] Of course it's more than just "electrolytes" but I couldn't put it into words about the difference between "just a drink" and Gatorade. So thank you for this.
There are plenty of electrolytes in this drink. Also, Gatorade has zero carb/diet too, it's what I drink.
That’s what I was wondering. What electrolytes would this have, despite looking delicious and refreshing. I like to mix a bulk potassium chloride powder that I ordered online with water. And I only ever use a super tiny amount because if you eat too much potassium, you will die and it doesn’t take much. And I take a magnesium supplement and eat my typical high sodium diet lol. Drink lots of water and problem solved.

@@drdiabetes7469WHAT??? 😂 Are you joking??? How many different things is cooked into to make savory or sweet foods dude?! “No, honey does not become toxic when heated. In fact, honey is often pasteurized by heating it to a high temperature for a short time to kill dangerous microbes. However, heating honey can change its composition and weaken or destroy enzymes, vitamins, and minerals. For example, heating honey to around 95 degrees can leave the health benefits intact, but prolonged exposure to high temperatures can degrade the beneficial enzymes and the taste of the honey.”
I've always found that when using ginger for drinks, grate it, with a parmesan grater, you get way more ginger flavour out, with way less ginger, you'll literally have juice on your fingers doing it. I love ginger lime and honey tea.

Ginger is like garlic; the smaller the pieces, the more flavor you get.
1 cup ginger, chopped ½ cup maple syrup (add more if need it to be sweeter; you also can substitute molasses for a very old-fashioned taste!) ½ cup apple cider vinegar ⅔ cup lemon juice 6 cups water INSTRUCTIONS Fill a 2-quart saucepan 2/3 with water and add ginger. Bring water to a boil and allow ginger to boil for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let ginger steep for 20 minutes. In a 2-quart pitcher, add maple syrup, apple cider vinegar and lemon juice.

It's ginger switchel. Ginger tea doesn't have vinegar.
There is ginger root tea, but this actually is called switchel since it has a few more ingredients in it to separate it from a tea.

But I will never give up my genuine maple 🍁 syrup. Hell, I even built my kitchen cabinets from maple, from scratch. Which, after I left the law, induced me to become a woodworker and learn how to build and work with maple. Got some syrup in the cabinet right now, because Aldi's is a great find for real maple syrup for us transplanted northeners.
@@user-bz3dg7nx3pI think one of my first "adult decisions" (outside of the more boring mundane one's like "pay bills" or "go to work on time")I made for myself early on in adulthood was that I will never go cheap on maple syrup, and only get the REAL stuff. It's so much better. I have no clue how the other stuff can have the word ANYWHERE on their packaging with how drastic the difference is. That "decision" falls under my condiments policy, in that I'm ALWAYS making sure that my fridge at least has it's condiments.

In my culture, ginger is always a must in households, especially amongst old-country folks. I am grateful that my grandparents (just as their own parents did) taught me and my mom the benefits of consuming ginger. Great anti-inflammatory properties. It also knocks you right out when you drink it as a nice hot/warm tea at night. You can also make some ginger milk: boil some milk of your choice with some ginger root, then add a bit of sweetener of your choice, and have a great relaxing tea that'll help you sleep at night like a baby.

Ginger milk?! Omg that sounds heavenly 😋 My husband just bought two pounds of ginger for ginger beer-looks like we’re sharing!
Please be careful with boiling milk with ginger . The milk splits at times. Always try with a small amount first . Alternatively , after boiling milk , turn off the stove , add crushed/ grated ginger to it and let it steep for 5 minutes. Strain and add sweetener of choice and have it hot or warm , as you prefer.
Thank you. Will try this
There’s also another healthy alternative for Gatorade own by a man named Santa Cruz Paleo. It excludes all those unhealthy ingredients Gatorade has and keeps the sodium, potassium, carbs within it. You can find it by typing his name on Google or on his KZhead channel(his website and channel are both spelled with his name).
In 1700 ginger came from China, maple syrup from North America, lemons form South, and vinegar wasn’t in Grocery Stores either. So to make Switchel you have had to travel the Globe in a BIG Ship just to make a batch.
People made their own vinegar and I believe that's the main component to the beverage, other flavors may have been added as available, you could get sugar, honey or Maple syrup depending on where you lived..berries or other fruit may have been used foe extra flavor.
The original switchel recipe I learned is apple cider vinegar and honey diluted in water, which makes a lot more sense. Those two things were readily available to most people or could easily be obtained from nature. The mineral content of both items (from fruit and from flower) is what makes it so effective. However, I am sure if you use filtered, pasteurized ACV and pasteurized honey from bees that are fed sugar water instead of nectar from flowers, the health benefits probably aren't what they used to be, either.
You didn't need to travel to get different food in 1700s. By that time all trade routes were already established and European bought ginger from China and sold it to europeans. Yeah it wasn't cheap, but it was as expensive as any spice back then and many rich ladies used ginger. You know, they teach that stuff in school, it would be stupid to think there was no trade between different countries, it was the age of trading and exploration, not medieval
There's a variety of this on the Townsends channel, which is fabulous if you love history/historical food!

I would personally skip the vinegar. One acidic ingredient is plenty. It’s not good for your teeth to drink acidic drinks & people that get heartburn might want to reduce the acid as well. Otherwise sounds tasty with the ginger & lemon.

Just a suggestion that you can use crushed ginger so that the water has more flavour and you need to add just half of what you added lol 🎃
I juice it and add it to the water
Blend in water and strain out fiber...
I usually grate it, which works a treat
Pureé the ginger with a bit of water then strain with cheesecloth to make a concentrated stock of ginger juice.
imagine adding a chopped ginger to water and calling it ginger water. You need to either slice them very thin, grate them, or mash them into the water to actually get anything out of the ginger. Dipping ginger in water does nothing but rise the ginger in your water.
I sorta make this every morning and it's so good! I blend together 1 thumb of fresh ginger, 1 apple, the juice of 1 lemon, and 2 cups of water. And then strain the pulp. I then split the mixture into two cups, and add an additional 2 cups of water to each cup, 1tbsp apple cider Vinegar, 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper, 1/8 tsp tumeric, and à few cranks of pink himalayen sea salt. It's honestly super tasty and very refreshing/hydrating and hps with inflammation as well! Oh and ofc ice to each drink because I love cold water 😂
Just a little note: Turmeric is anti-inflammatory if activated by black pepper.... That's something I found out... research Even my peach, ginger, Turmeric herbal tea I buy has a little black pepper in it...They're companions. Anyway, that's what I found...hope it helps someone 😊
@@LaShaun-bg3ut ooo interesting! I wonder if it needs to be black pepper or if my cayenne addition does the same thing!
@@Mitters I have always seen and been told black pepper in my research of it but look into it and see... I'd just hate for you to miss the anti-inflammatory aspect...My best to you. 👍😁
@@LaShaun-bg3ut Thank you!
"All the way back to the 1700s" 😂😂😂 I think they were drinking forms of this a lot earlier than that!
Romans drank sour wine, which is literally vinegar, mixed with water and honey for the health benefits. Switchel is the early colonial name but this drink is a certified antique.
Those bubbly cups are adorable!!🥰
This is AMAZING we put 2 strawberries and it came out so good! My mom thanks you for this recipe
Wow, I love strawberries! Great idea, will make a batch
@@oceansams5886 thank you btw we made this like 10 more times in 2 months
Thank you! Now I can finally reuse all the glass bottles I've acquired from Aldi.
I made this with lime juice and ginger paste (bc it's what I had) and IT'S FANTASTIC. Kudos, well done!

I would most likely suggest drinking this with a straw. So u don't have sensitive teeth from the lemon & vinegar
No you don’t need a straw
@@PandyMany from the lomson acidity yes. thats why the fruit is that tart so humans wont want to eat it directly
@@josephv7899 I've lived on this drink, my whole family has as well, I know many people who also drink this a great deal. and not one of us have ever had a need for a straw to help with the acidity.
And rinse with water afterwards
@@PandyMany It will erode the enamel on your teeth if you don't use a straw, like any acidic drink. It's probably not any worse than Coca Cola though.
I love switchel. I get a variety of flavours from a fellow at a local farmers market. Pineapple is so far my favorite!!
Have been waiting all days for your podcast! Thank you I enjoyed this so much 😊
If anyone is wondering since the link doesnt work. 1 cup ginger, with skin, roughly chopped 6 cups water 1/4 cup maple syrup 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar 3 lemons, juiced
I prefer honey instead of maple syrup, it’s just got more energy
…and little bit Cayenne Pepper ! ❤️👊
Yes! My mom calls that a “flu bomb (balm?)”
Reminds me of that Beyoncé diet
& chia seeds (soak 10 mins) + sea moss 😋💪🏼 You're welcome!💯
If you want this to function the same as Gatorade, you need to add some salt to replace missing electrolytes
You sound exactly like Moira from Fallout 3.
I'm craving this for so long... This video is a sign that I have to make it now!😂 Thanks for reminding me, and also for all the delicious recipes ❤
We used to make this but we boil the ginger instead to reduce some water. Add some sweet stuff I.e. sugar...sometimes brandy. Great medicine for when you feel sick, stomach hurts, sore throat, or just to help when you don’t feel well but still have to sing your heart out coz people paid money to see you 😊. I gave this to one our male singers once and he said his voice actually went up a tone afterwards...go figure 😮
Looks really refreshing!
Adorable glasses! 🤗
Hi, can you please put your recipes in the description box? It would be so much easier to make them. 😊
1 cup ginger, with skin, roughly chopped 6 cups water ¼ cup maple syrup ½ cup apple cider vinegar 3 lemons, juiced
Are you boiling the i ginger?
Id argue its more the 18th century farmer's gatorade lol. Check out the episode Max Miller did on switchel in tasting history, good stuff.
Gatorade provides a short term sodium and potassium boost, but the potassium content is off scale to the sodium, and the increased sodium flushes extra water through your system, taking free calcium and magnesium ( the other 2 performance electrolytes) with it. Hydration is not how much water goes in, its keeping water in your system, and maintaining a blood homeostasis of the 4 electrolytes. Eating an avocado, with some pumpkin seeds, and then 2 hours later some salted potatoes with a glass of milk, is 4 times as effective as sports drinks. Drinking water itself is to replace lost fluid. And getting electrolytes from liquids is usally going to take out more than it puts in.
This is very similar to colonial Shrub! A vinegar and juice drink to be mixed with water and ice if you have it. Absolutely delicious!!
In India where i live Its called GOLI SODA. Coz its usually sold in a thick glass bottle which has a marble (goli) and u have to popnthe marble in to drink
This looks like a yummy natural drink but nature already has its own "gatorade".... 🥥 🌴 😉✨️
looks good !!
This music feels like those documentaries from the 90s we had to watch in school when we had a sub
My wonderful mother taught me how to make this when I was little. I share this with alllll my loved ones. This drink is LIFE❤
that sounds like such a lovely family tradition (: does your mother have a different recipe?
I have the switchel recipe from the farmer my grandfather worked for when he was a kid. We have been too scared to make it because when my husband and I tried some from a store once we had one sip and neither of us could sleep 12+ hours later 😂
Seems delicious. Will try 👌🏼
Sugar- maple. Salt- vinegar??? Potassium … ginger? Lemon? Magnesium…..ginger?
Coconut water and fruit blended up will suffice too. Coconut water hydrates you very well & has electrolytes. You can also drink green tea & you’d be great less hassle🙂
I have some gatorades growing in the back yard. Nothing beats real natures gatorade. I dug up a lemon lime this morning.
Dug up the lime? Do you mean found one?
@brendarewan7441 nope! Plastic bottle and all. I also have some fruit punch Gatorades growing back there but they're only the little 12oz mini ones right now.
I like Arctic blast
@@DITTOE me too, unfortunately I don't live in the right climate to grow those 😞
So basically iced ginger tea with a twist. Awesome!
My mom makes switchel all the time. ♥️
I came across that a few months ago. I thought at the time I couldn't imagine a modern person drinking it. So cool you resurrected one of those recipes.
@@angelous7774I have never heard about it until a couple of summers ago when my dad started making it.
I literally thought this was something majority of people drank? This isn’t popular? Sn- I never knew it went by any of these names. I only knew it by ginger tea. And this is exactly how it’s made minus the vinegar (for me 😂)
@@khadijahburnett2119 Switchel always has vinegar as far as I know. I'm pretty sure that for anyone who didn't grow up with someone like a grandparent who drank this, they've never heard of it. I don't even think the majority of people have ever purchased fresh ginger. I've been at the grocery store and had to tell new cashiers the names of half my produce because they've never seen it before. I had someone over to my house one time who kept staring at my fruit bowl, she finally asked , what's that? It was a kiwi. Then she point to an orange an asked me why it looked strange, I told her it was a tangerine, she said oh. And my favorite part, she said what are those things and pointed to some bulbs of ginger. I said it's garlic. She made a face and asked me, "like the kind people use for vampires?" This was an adult woman btw. I said I know your mom cooked for you growing up, and I' sure she used garlic. She said yes but only the powder kind. There is NO way she would have known what ginger was. Too many people don't cook make drinks from scratch. Or they say they do but really their tea is the powder kind you add water to, their "homemade" pie is crust from a can with pie filling from a can, baked in the oven. My family will make a crock pot meal, which is already easy, but won't purchase ingredients, just a frozen crock pot meal you dump in.
AMEN!@@sweetpie7919
I grew up thinking coconut was natures gatorade lol😂
I have a friend that is prone working himself into heatstroke condition, then trying to stay away from doing anything for the rest of that day. Many years ago I force-fed him some switchel when he took a solid seat on the ground while we were setting up a 500 sq ft canvas tent. He got up all on his own and got back to work on the rest of our camp after 10 minutes. Switchel has been a staple of our 40 man camp at several events ever since that day.
I drink switchel every day in summer! I drink it for the electrolytes and iron (I use molasses in mine). Love to see it getting a shout-out here. ❤
except gatorade is an isotonic electrolyte drink so ….. not really
Shhh get your science outta here.
Lot of the ingridients are great digestive aid and good for detox. Cleanses the system. I think that may be why it makes you feel refreshed
In other words, it'll give you diarrhea. Not my idea of refreshing, sorry.
@@terminaldeity its not gonna give you diarreah lmao
@@terminaldeitythat’s a stupid conclusion to jump to
@@saijanaswamy7210how else does it “cleanse the system “? Projectile vomiting? Citation needed
@@bigmona2741 you sound naive and unaware so ur quick to judge and hurl insults lmao
Her: "This is matures gatorade" My brain: oh it's pee...
This is very good. We used it at double concentrate and I liked a bit more syrup. So refreshing.
My everyday, anytime go-to drink is lemon ginger tea. Just grate up some ginger in a cup, let it sit in the boiled water for ten minutes, add a squeeze of lemon juice. Good for waking up if you're avoiding caffeine and good too as an after dinner digestive aid! Now, if I was dehydrated then I probably would also add salt and honey. Vinegar seems a bit overkill with the lemon but having the "mother" included would help restore the gut.
Jamaicans been drinking this lady!!!
That’s why she said back to the 1700s.. Nobody is trying to take it over
@@DDVVJJRRI’m sure the commenter said this because people always jump in the comments claiming that everyone did so and so back then so it’s not just (Enter comentors race) people who do so and so. How about you go to those comments and tell them to stay saying dumb ish like that like there obviously an exception to every rule. Thanks after you clean up those comments then you can come back.
Substitute maple syrup for dark molasses if you're low on iron😊
Also a bit more traditional because most of colonial Americans had molasses easily at hand but maple was strictly regional.
I drink olive brine and it works wonders. The salt and red wine vinegar is very satisfying after a heavy workout
Oh, I'm used to making this at home. This is what we call Salabat or "ginger tea" and is known to be good especially when you have sore throat. We put calamansi instead of lemon and sugar instead of honey, and mint can also sometimes be added. But wow, this version is soooo much healthier.
My grandparents are beekeepers and growing up my nan would always mix us a drink made of water, lemon juice and honey. It's so refreshing and energy boosting, and the honey really takes it to a whole other level if you compare it to a regular lemonade
Also, drink ginger water. When I was pregnant when I was sick and it made me feel so much better.

Something about how large those ginger chunks are makes me think it's wasteful. Unless cooked for a long time, it seems like a lot of ginger flavor would be left inside the chunks? Unless you do it on purpose so you can use the chunks for something else.
I reuse them! Blend up - pop in an ice cube tray and use as individual servings for stir fries etc
The Scrappy Cooking Queen would never waste ginger chunks!
Grate the ginger for that extra flavour and kick adding chunks hardly gives any benifits, it doesn't mix well in water. You can boil the same n drink hot without maple syrup with a dash of lemon 😅
Will the drink help with bloating?
Try probiotics and X-gas pills
In Japan umeboshi in water is an old dehydration cure, because umeboshi is salty and the ume fruit has vitamins and minerals.
Funny Bunny is a light pink nude color that is a nail polish made by OPI I believe. It’s a very popular nail color.
My dad passed this recipe down to me, but hot and for helping with a sore throat. But if it doesn't have sodium chloride it ain't doing jack to replace electrolytes the way Gatorade does 😅
This is so refreshing, I don’t put vinegar but I do like to make something similar to this in the summertime.😊
Apple vinegar isn't that intense if compared to other kinds, it tastes great together with lemon and ginger!
I see all these comments about electrolytes with no demonstrated, clear understanding of exactly what electrolytes are, and I despair to know that Idiocracy came much earlier than they thought it would. For those who actually care to learn, GINGER HAS ELECTROLYTES IN IT in addition to important minerals and compounds that settle the stomach.
I saw a video like this but they were talking about braga, I think it’s so cool these old drinks that did what they were supposed to with no additives like today.
Also lemon with Celtic or Himalayan salt the natural minerals push the h20 into your cells so it doesn't "pass through" you almost immediately (🚽)... If it passes through you it is because the natural electrolytes were stripped out of it during the filtering process.
This is absolutely not how cells process water lol
So it’s ginger tea
Except there's no tea involved at all
Looks so pleasant 😍 ☺️.
Thanks! looks yummy 😋 !
Wow 1700's isnt that when medical advances where at its heights. Should i put on a leach?
😂
Agreed 😂
Grandma’s and farmers’ wives were making this for their families, doctors probably didn’t have the good sense to recommend it. It’s known today to be full of beneficial probiotics.
Take it down a notch, it’s just a refreshing beverage not a vaccine alternative. 😂
@@AshleyxVlogsLEECH THE NONBELIEVER.
Le Indias Hold our Chai 🍵
This is our staple drink. We always have bottles of fresh ginger steep, and I add this to coffee, tea, chocolate drinks. Everything. Hot. Cold. And of course, for cooking.
😮1700 / hundreds ! WOW 😮 Sounds very healthy 👌💯👌.. I'm going to try it ! 🤗.....
Otter looks so much like Poppy! She even has a vocal fry like Poppy does when she speaks LOL
Instructions unclear, I am tied to a chair and the ginger has the knife
Lead, arsenic and QuickSilver also used to have healing properties, back in the 1700’s
