Ha! My turn to get ya at your own game, Stefan! I found a reference for
you in your own florilegium files, to a beverage called 'twilsy', which
is simply water, with a a plain or fruit-flavored vinegar added to
taste. I took the suggestion in the file and tried it with raspberry
vinegar- not bad at all. There was a similar drink, but with honey or
sugar water added, called 'switchel'. I would suppose you could use a
non-suger sweetener for that. Are you proud of me?
Hugs & Pinches,
Angelique
