# Way Up North In The Old Days We Enjoyed A Tall Glass Of Switchel
This lesser know thirst quencher is an old, old recipe, but it’s a dandy! The surprising ingredients you use when you make Switchel are half of the fun. Don’t tell your kids what’s in those big tall glasses – let them guess. The tangy and sweet flavors seriously quench any thirst, whether you’re out playing or working. Kids and adults both will fall in love with this delightful beverage. It’s not only full of flavor, but, as my grandpa used to say, “it’s good for what ails ya”. You can drink this beverage either hot or cold, so keep this recipe handy for those dark winter nights, too.
Most people I know are on a tight budget these days. Trying to make ends meet is a serious challenge. It involves cutting back and sacrificing in all areas of your family’s life. The grocery bill is probably the easiest place to start trimming, and with some cheap drink recipes, your family can still enjoy a nice hot or cold beverage when you want. And, these beverages don’t taste like you sacrificed a thing.
