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.

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.

Thank you! Now I can finally reuse all the glass bottles I've acquired from Aldi.

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.

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

I made this with lime juice and ginger paste (bc it's what I had) and IT'S FANTASTIC. Kudos, well done!

I don't know about Gatorade but it's a nice tonic. I feel like coconut water would be closer to Gatorade because of the electrolytes and salt levels. This is more of a tonic.

Hi, can you please put your recipes in the description box? It would be so much easier to make them. 😊

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 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.

@@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.

I can tell us very energetic because lemon adds natural electrolytes to the water and the body can absorb the water easily. If you add a little of salt even better and doesn't do change the flavor

If you pound the ginger in a mortar and pestle, you don’t have to use so much because you’re letting it secrete it’s natural flavor. Boiling that amount of chunky ginger is just throwing it down the drain.

Don’t waste the ginger. I put it whole in a blender, boil it then strain it. I personally use organic honey.

I grew up thinking coconut was natures gatorade lol😂

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.

Looks delicious! I'll try it!

In Japan umeboshi in water is an old dehydration cure, because umeboshi is salty and the ume fruit has vitamins and minerals.

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.

Also goes pretty good with cachaça, rum, vodka or tequila

You can also use blackstrap molasses for the sweetener and apple cider vinegar for the acid.

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.

Natures Gatorade is what comes out of me whenever I’m in the bathroom.

Also the alkaline water works so good

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

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 😅

Looks really refreshing!

Apple vinegar isn't that intense if compared to other kinds, it tastes great together with lemon and ginger!

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.
