I made it last night, used half molasses half maple syrup. But the recipe I tried used lemon and I didn’t like the resulting flavour. Also the ginger we had wasn’t as fresh as I would have liked. I’ll try it again using a more traditional recipe.
Lemon does sound like it’d be a lot of sour in addition to the vinegar itself.
I used powdered ginger and thought fresh grated would be the way to go. I also feel it’d be easier to strain it if the final drink.
Overall I thought it was good though. I gave some to my girlfriend not telling her what it was and she thought it was some vile beer type thing that went bad. 😆
I’d absolutely drink it again though. With some tweaks it’d be really good. I am solidly pro switchel.
