Switzel
Chef Thom
I’ve been working on an ebook the last few weeks titled
“How to Cook Great Dinners
and spend less at the grocery store”
and while doing some research I stumbled upon a great site Earth Clinic which has many home remedies for many ailments. Having arthritis in both my thumbs I did a little research there and stumbled upon a remedy that is apparently older then dirt.
Apple Cider Vinegar has not only worked for my arthritis, but over all I feel a lot better and have more energy.
I started out drinking it by adding 1 teaspoon into 8 ounces of water. Since then I was told about an old recipe called Switzel. If you do a seach for it you will find many recipes that use sugar, this one I think is a little beter as you use honey instead. I think it tastes better and is better for you.
Switzel
2 Tablespoons Honey
4 ounces hot water
12 ounces cold water
2 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
Stir the honey into the hot water until it has all dissolved.
Add the cold water, then the vinegar.
Stir and refrigerate.
I use Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar to make my Switzel because it is complete with the mother.
Another way I drink it in addition to the Switzel is hot.
I cut down my coffee intake to just three cups (I used to drink a pot a day) and instead drink 1 Tablespoon of honey and ACV in a coffee cup of hot water. Tastes better then coffee to me now and by cutting down on the coffee I get the benifits of drinking coffee and the benifits of ACV to boot.
