Re: Recipes for the drinks.

Apple Cider

1 gallon unfiltered, unpasteurized apple juice
1 Tbsp salt
1/2 cup homemade whey

Place all ingredients in a larger bowl. Cover and leave at room temperature for 2 days.
Skim foam that rises to the top. Line a strainer with several layers of cheesecloth; strain
juice into jars or jugs. Cover tightly and refrigerate. Flavors will develop slowly over several weeks. The cider will eventually develop a rich buttery taste.
If you wish to further clarify the cider, add lightly beaten egg whites to the jugs (1 egg white per quart.) Set aside a few hours, and then filter again through several layers of cheesecloth Makes 4 quarts. From Nourishing Traditions

Ginger Ale

3/4 cup ginger, peeled and finely chopped or grated
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/4-1/2 cup Rapadura or dehydrated can juice
2 tsp Celtic Sea Salt
1/4 cup homemade whey
2 quarts filtered water

Place all ingredients in a 2-quart jug and fill with water. Stir well and cover tightly. Keep
at room temperature two days before transferring to the refrigerator. This will keep several months well chilled. To serve, strain and mix half ginger ale with half purified water or
naturally sparkling water. Best consumed at room temperature, not cold. Makes 2 quarts.
