There are plenty of fermented drinks to try your hand at making, here’s one that you can make in minutes & tastes delicious!
A Switchel is a drink made with raw apple cider vinegar (ACV). The type that says on the bottle that it contains the ‘mother’ or says it is ‘raw’ or ‘lIve’. This means that the ACV hasn’t been pasteurised & the live bacteria are still present.
It’s a really refreshing drink that can be made fast & unlike other fermented drinks, can be drunk straight away or left for a few hours for it’s flavours to develop.
I like encouraging the use of ACV because it’s a helpful digestive aid, stimulating digestive enzymes. Plus raw ACV still contains beneficial bacteria cultures, which may help with gut balance. This is important in perimenopause and menopause when the gut can become out of balance.
Naturally these health claims are dependant on how much you drink, although more is not necessarily better & may make you feel a bit sick!
