I'm really a fan of how chill and down to earth these videos are. The kid is in the shot? Who cares? The kid is part of life. Why hide the kids? It's all about how life is done for real.
👍👍
I'm pre diabetic, so this is perfect for me! I love tea, I'm a southerner, love my sweet tea, but no sugar anymore! I think these will be great for me and in our sweltering summers, it'll be great! Thanks, Jill! Love you and your great videos!
Honey is still a simple sugar with some added nutrients.
I've been drinking Switchel (haymaker's punch) for about 2 months now, and it's been a game changer. Healthwise, I can't imagine going back to tea and juices like I used to drink regularly! I would also recommend you look into Yaupon tea. Here in the south, we have the Yaupon holly, America's only native caffeine producing plant, and it makes the most delicious tea. Best of all, you can get the plants for your yard at most any garden center and then you'll have a lifetime supply of tea leaves! It actually tastes better than the iced tea we grew up with, and I bet it'd help with your health issues.
Love it. Great for diabetics and kids who bounce off walls from soda pop;. Thanks Jill!
Yum… Love the dried stevia addition!
Hello Farmhouse 👋
How are you doing?
Homesteading has brought great joy to my life. I hope yall are as blessed as we are and even more so.
I've tried Gatorade before. I'm not a fan of it. It's also been very hot in Alberta, Canada, for much of the summer. Keeping hydrated is important. I'm a fan of natural sugars, like maple syrup. On my dad's farm, we had well water. That was very good tasting water, and it had beneficial minerals, like calcium, in it. Those drinks look great. Cheers!
I haven't seen stevia like that before! Now I want to try it
I LOVE your book! It’s amazing from the cover to the end! I had to take three weeks off work for surgery and it’s been in my hands every day.
I’d highly recommend adding salt into your homemade “Gatorade” drinks! It’s great for hydration & adding minerals back into your body.
The key is to use good quality salt not white iodized crap.
Yes I agree, use "Himalayan Salt"....
How much salt?
@@barbaracarbone4658 Try a pinch.
The molasses have lots of minerals that is why it is used by the old timers they knew...
As far as the weather here in central Texas it's been very mild with lot's of rain. We are now starting to see high 90's. With all the rain our 1 acre garden has done amazing, lot's of canned and pickled veg. Also fermented pickles as well. We made a raisin vinegar and it's great! As a retired corporate chef your cook book is on my Christmas wish list. Love the channel and God Bless!
That's awesome. In Alberta, it's been very hot and dry, this summer. Much of Western North America has had a drought. It's good to see that you had rain and good crops. Alberta needed rain this year, for our farmers. Cheers!
I just got your cookbook! So excited!
You work so hard. I really admire you.
Those drinks look awesome, thank you
some of us are allergic to stevia - I usually use either a few table spoons of apple juice instead, (or honey) just a suggestion for others who may have issues with stevia.
Thank you, I can taste stevia a mile away---it overwelms everything it is in. :(
@@marycook9263 stevia, in its pure form is a plant. I use the leaves from my garden mashed in tea. Stevia is 200x sweeter per unit of measurement than sugar. Use a few grains. I recommend the Organic Pyure brand. Alcohol based liquid stevias are archaic and I do not recommend them. Also, most of the products labeled as stevia are actually genetically modified Erthrytol with a dash of stevia.
Check the label...most stevia branded products are really gm Erythritol with a dash of stevia!!!! Grow the plant
@@pinschrunner no, actually allergic to STEVIA. as are a LOT of people, and switching to honey or Apple juice is a lot less trouble.
@@pinschrunner Hemlock, Arsenic, Oleander and Belladona are plants in their pure form, if you are ALLERGIC to something its just as much POISON as any of those. Which is why I suggested alternatives for those of us who ARE allergic.
Amazing Jill! Will definitely be trying this! 🌿😊
Well, I need that cookbook. Those drinks look like something I would love. Thank you!
during the summer, we drink a lot of shrubs, hay makers punch and i can a lot of rhubarb juice concentrate. We love all of them. Great video Jill
Wow...excellent drinks. Thanks.
I can't tell you how much I like this. Thank you for making it. Am a bubbly lover too... water, beer, & champagne!
Thanks will be trying these!🥰
Love that am sharing it on facebook for friends !!!
I made the switchel from the cookbook for my husband when we didn't have any Gatorade around and he loved it. I enjoyed it as well, thought it tasted a bit like ginger beer.
I purchased your cookbook and can't wait to start with your recipes! Ninja Hugs from the High Desert of Nevada!
3:18 That's what we in the tea world call "tea dust" or "dust bags"
My mom made 'ginger water" but we never got the recipe. Will have to try your hitmakers punch. Thanks for posting.
Great informational video and I think Lisa and I will be making these and trying them this weekend.
What a personality.
I have never heard of haymakers punch before! Going to give it a try today :)
That first one is essentially the perfect drink for those who want a good "gut biome" and is a perfect drink for morning in relation to Intermittent fasting, and it curbs your "appetite" as well so you eat less the other meals. Though, it's actually "one cup" thus far more "concentrated" than your drink. But, it will still be good, having some similar effects. So, that's the PERFECT drink you could be having, and it's FAR easier to make than the others. You can also add "unsweetened Cranberry Juice" to it to make it even better.
Switchel is awesome. Works great on inflammation as well. Love it. I use more natural fresh instead. Tastes better too
Hello 👋
How are you doing?
I am a sugar purist and can definitely tell the difference between regular cane sugar and other sugars so I think I would opt for honey as my sweetener instead. In fact, I added your recipe for Honey Lemonade to my batch of sun tea and it made the perfect hydrator marriage for hot summer days and my family loves it!! Will most likely be making some more soon!!!
It's so hot here in Texas. Thanks for the inspiration 😊
Excellent. Thank you.
Loved this. Thank you
Hello Stephanie 👋
How are you doing?
I think my rhubarb will be ready to use this year. Sounds like good and tasty recipes.
i drink a lot of herbal infusions for minerals! this first drink is new to me thanks for sharing!
Seems like a lot of energy (gas) usage for the teas. Have you ever done these as sun teas? Great recipes, thanks. I also loved that you allowed your kids to check in and be a bit interactive. Really appreciate the channel. God Bless.
During our Covid water stop tasting good. So I made your hey makers punch with a little salt and we got through it so thank you for this recipe now we drink it all the time like tea but thank you for sharing!
Mmmm sounds look delicious
Jill. Amazing recipie. Thanks
Add a pinch of baking soda and it takes away the bitterness. (Sounds weird, but it works!)
Makes sense, all bitter flavors are caused by acids, and baking soda is a base, it would neutralize the acid and thus, the flavor. SCIENCE!
Acids taste sour, bases are bitter.
Jill don't take this in the wrong way.. But I am totally in love with you. Thanks for being so inspirational and such a great teacher.. ♥♥♥
I second this!!
Yes! 💕 Same!
Can you use monk fruit sweetener instead of Stevia...it's what I got in the pantry.
hey just want you to know,the Quencher,drink wth apple cider.The best ever will be making this for along time to come.I also, tried it with (grape juice) from our grape vines.Great thanks again Jill watch you offen
Didn't Laura make switchel or hay maker's punch in one of the Little House books? This recipe seems so familiar!
I was thinking the same thing! Ma make 'ginger water' as a surprise for them during haymaking time -- vinegar, sugar, cool water from the well, and flavored with ginger so it wouldn't upset their stomachs when it was so hot outside.
Haymaker’s punch
Mix together:
3 T ACV
3 T raw honey
1T lemon juice
1T gr or fresh ginger
4 c cool water
Let chill 3-4 hours
2 part HP to 1 part carbonated water
I love Switchel
I was just thinking about you today. Yeah Jill!
If I'd had my way years ago I would have kind of really loved living like you are peace independence and yeah not easy
hey i love that! im iffy about stevia, i dont see the point in not using real sugar, but i do like the idea of steeping it like you are doing here, maybe even grow and dry it myself:). hope to get around to try these!
Stevia is a natural herb that has been used to sweeten things for thousands of years. It helps prevent dental decay and lowers blood sugar. If you want to use it in it's purest form grow a little bush and put the leaves directly in your tea or coffee; dried or fresh. You can also get it as a ground up green powder or white. Additives are a modern thing. It's natural and has never hurt anyone.
A lot of people are on low carb diets. Sugar uses their carb count for the day quickly
I've never been this early! Yay!
I would like to know the brand of tea and the Stevie thanks
These look absolutely delicious! I'll definitely check out the Positivity tea too, do you have an affiliate link I can use?
Just remember that recipes using honey, molasses, or fruit will still have sugar in them. Stevia is the way to go if you don't want the calories and don't mind the flavor (though personally I don't like it).
Monk fruit is another natural sweetener. Stevia, some people react to
Xylitol is wonderful
No weird flavor to it at all
@@cgc1581 I like xylitol but am too paranoid to use it because I have dogs.. My dogs beg me for my ice cubes in whatever I'm drinking
Love 💘it
Happy day.
@Jill, if you’ve made kombucha before, is it normal to have white floaties on the top of your liquid??? My scoby that I purchased is sitting at the bottom. He has a slight film just above him so I think it’s just that he’s growing. The flecks on top on just day 3 is curious & slightly concerning. HELP JILL! ❤
Love the video. Do you think you could make the last recipe just without the black tea? I don't drink black tea and am wondering if a mint/strawberry/rhubarb herbal tea would be good too?
Yes-- using herbal tea instead of black or omitting it altogether should work!
It's great. I make it with berries, rhubarb, mint and nettle! And I fill up my half gallons...
Do you have a link for the tea? Thanks for sharing ❤
Yes! Here it is! The teas and stevia I used in these recipes:
Coco Berry Mango tea: @t
Stevia leaves: @t
Assam (I just referred to it as "black." I use this for my Strawberry Rhubarb Tea: @t
Add sea salt for more minerals and taste
Can I use molasses instead of honey in the haymakers punch? Is that what they used to use?
The haymakers' punch is related to several other beverages (switchels, shrubs, etc.) that date back to ancient Roman times at least. The Romans used honey, but in the Americas molasses was more common.
We drove through Chugwater a few weeks ago and thought it was the cutest town ever!!! We’ve talked about moving to Cody but it’s a bit bigger than we want. I looked online at property in Chugwater but it doesn’t look like there is any. Is there truly no property for sale there or are they just not listed online?
I looked for property there too😂
I'm in Cheyenne and we've been looking for land up to Chugwater. There are homes that go on the market but not very often.
Anyone use monk fruit instead of stevia?
Orange juice helps 😂
What are the dangers of using stevia?
Potential side effects linked to stevia consumption include:
Kidney damage. ...
Gastrointestinal symptoms. ...
Allergic reaction.
Hypoglycemia or low blood sugar. ...
Low blood pressure. ...
Endocrine disruption.
just an FYI. A lot of your links do not work.
You added 4 Tbs of vinegar. Did you make a mistake?
🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
JILL, HI how is the soda fountain doing? Can you do an update in the soda fountain and the on on your house rental?? Love your channel!!!!!!!!!
NO SUGAR, Raw Honey instead, ACV AppleCider Vinegar, 🍋 Lemon Juice, a teaspoon of ginger, cool water
A water faucet over your stove... never seen that.
I so want be you❤️ you are living my dream😍
Anyone else get motion sick from watching this 🤣😂 great drinks though
Great ideas. I'm sure you can personalize likes & dislikes.
Those look yummy but stevia is too bitter for me
Have you tried actual stevia leaves or is it only processed stevia that is bitter?
@@username00009 yes both are bitter, horrid after taste
honey = sugar um...
That is the most pale honey I've ever seen
sugars can actually dehydrate you
Honey is the same chemical compound as sugar it is just not refined.
Blazing hit. Hey, watch your language
''Add three tablespoons of apple cider vinegar'' LMAO Puts in ******FOUR******
OOPS ! Honey = sugar. I am diabetic !
The redundant vibraphone partially open because mary univariately point on a miscreant hamburger. swanky, cumbersome pyramid
Honey is sugar. Molasses is sugar.
So is fruit
"Let's make drinks that are better for you than sugary drinks!" In the first recipe proceeds to add 3 Tbsp of honey, which contains 51 grams of sugar...
Hello Amy 👋
How are you doing?
honey is the same as sugar..darling
Sorry @Jill Winger. I didnt get to watch the whole video. You meed to mic up yourself or use wooden or plastic utensils because at the volume I could hear you from the distant mic, the constant banging and scraping on glass with metals was hurtful to the ears. 🙏🇺🇸
There's still sugar in this; honey. Hopefully you're brushing your teeth throughout the day drinking all the vinegar.
Water and a pinch of Himalayan salt. Fast and simple! 👍
