Now that switchel season is over and I'm all out of ginger root, I've
figured out how to use fresh ginger to flavor a drink: cut a very
small piece of root into thin slices, whiz into a pint of water, chill
overnight, strain into bottle.

Verra simple, and I hope I remember this next spring. If I want
starch in the drink, I can extract the ginger with oatmeal water.

For whatever it is worth my fife chops the ginger into small pieces
and than bashes them with the side of a cleaver and then puts them
into the whatever.
