Ndizamile iSwitchel kwaye andisayi kuphinda ndisele esinye iSiselo seMandla kwakhona

Ukuba undwendwela rhoqo kwimarike yamafama yasekhaya okanye i-hipster hangout yasebumelwaneni, amathuba okuba usibone isiselo esitsha kwindawo yesehlakalo: switchel. Abameli besiselo bafunga izithako zabo ezilungele wena kwaye bayiqhwabela izandla njengesiselo esisempilweni nesinencasa njengoko sinjalo.

I-Switchel ngumxube we-apile cider iviniga, amanzi okanye i-seltzer, isiraphu ye-maple, kunye nengcambu yejinja, ke iyaqhayisa ngezibonelelo ezithile zempilo. Ngaphandle kwesakhono sokucima kwanokunxanwa okunzulu, izithako ezahlukeneyo zisebenza kunye ukwenza oku kusela ivenkile yokumisa enye yezempilo: Ijinja inyusa amandla okulwa nokudumba, umxholo weasithiki ephezulu yeapile cider iviniga ithetha umzimba wakho unokufumana iivithamini kunye neeminerals ngokulula, kwaye iviniga kunye nemephu yesiraphu combo inokunceda ukuzinzisa iswekile yegazi lakho. Kodwa ngaphambi kokuba uqale ukugalela, kubalulekile ukuba uqaphele umxholo weswekile-ngaphandle kwento emnandi, ukusetyenziswa kwesiselo se-maple isiraphu kungathetha ukuba amanqanaba eswekile aphakama xa ungalumkanga ekubekeni iliso kubungakanani bayo obubeka kwibatch okanye ungakanani umxube owenziwe kwangaphambili oyisebenzisayo.

Umpheki uFranklin Becker weThe Little Beet kwisiXeko saseNew York kutshanje wongeze iintlobo ezimbini ezahlukeneyo zotshintsho kwimenyu yakhe. “Ngokwembono yokupheka, kuyayonwabisa-iswiti ethambileyo, i-asidi, kunye nokunxanwa,” utshilo. "Ngokwembono yezempilo, zonke izithako ezidityanisiweyo zomeleza amajoni omzimba kwaye zibonelela ngee-electrolytes eziyimfuneko kwimpilo esebenzayo, njengeGatorade yasekuqaleni." (Ngeendaba zokuba iZiselo zaMandla zingayifaka iTank yakho yezeMpilo yeNtliziyo, kukho izizathu ezingakumbi zokucacisa ezo zinto zenziweyo.)

Ngelixa i-switchel yayiyeyona nto iphambili ekutyeni komfama wobukoloniyali, ivenkile ethengwe ngoku inandipha indawo ezishelfini zeevenkile ezinje ngokutya okupheleleyo kunye neemarike ezikhethekileyo. Kwakhona kulula ukwenza ngokwakho ukuba uziva ufikelela kwi-DIY.

Njengekhoboka lekofu elisoloko likhangela iindlela zokuthembela kwiikomityi ezimbini ngosuku endaweni yezine, ndachukunyiswa yi-switchel's street cred njengenye indlela enempilo yecaffeine. Ndicinga njalo, ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndisele i-switchel yonke imihla kangange veki. Indlela yokwenza yayilula: Ndiza kuvavanya zombini inguqulelo eyenziwe ekhaya kunye nevenkile ethengwe evenkileni, ndinike isiselo esibandayo esiqhelekileyo, kwaye ndilandele amanqanaba am amandla ngosuku ngalunye.

Kwinguqulo eyenziweyo, ndakhwela iresiphi kwizinto ezinokuthenjwa ngonaphakade amathamsanqa. Ihlala inyanisekile kwiingcambu ezilula zesiselo, usebenzisa i-ginger entsha, i-apile cider iviniga, isiraphu ye-maple, kunye nokukhetha kwakho kwamanzi okanye i-club soda. Ukongeza ukukhanya, bacebisa ukongeza ilamuni okanye ijusi yelamuni kunye ne-mint sprigs. Njengoko unokucinga, zonke izithako kwakulula ukuzifumana kwivenkile yokutya. Ngelixa i-prep yayingengomsebenzi onzima kakhulu, ukusela ijinja kuthathe ixesha elithile. Ndenze ibhetshi enye ngamanzi aqhelekileyo kwaye enye nomhlobo wayo ovuzayo, isoda yeklabhu, ngenxa yophando. Ndishiye yomibini imiphanda efrijini ngobusuku bonke ukuze ndiqiniseke ukuba zipholile (isiraphu efudumeleyo yemephu isandi esingcono kwiipancake kunokuba isenza kwisiselo esishushu ...).

Xa kwafika ixesha lovavanyo lokuqala lokungcamla ngentsasa elandelayo, ndabona kwangoko ivumba elothusayo eliphuma efrijini- ukuba amavumba okuwa nentwasahlobo ayenomntwana, inokuba kunjalo. Ndagalela intwana nganye phezu komkhenkce kwaye ndongeza i-mint entsha ukuze ibe yinto entle ngakumbi. Ukuba ndingasebenzisa igama elinye kuphela ukuchaza isiselo, sinokuhlaziya. Kodwa ngenxa yobuntatheli, ndinawo amazwi ambalwa ekufuneka ndiwagcine: Ijinja ivelisa i-zing enzulu elinganisa ubumnandi besiraphu yemaple, kwaye iviniga ye-apile izisa i-tartness encinci kumxube. Xa zizonke, ufumana incasa ezaliswe yincasa yobumnandi. Ngelixa ndiyonwabelayo i-sips esekwe emanzini, ukusetyenziswa kwesoda yeklabhu kuyenze yonke into yehla kancinci kum kwaye yonyusa ixabiso layo njengesixhobo sokulungisa isisu (kunye, iya kudibana kakhulu ne-bourbon okanye i-whisky ye-cocktail yonyaka !).

Ngelixa ukusela i-switchel kusasa kwakungekho endaweni yekomityi yam yemihla ngemihla, kwakuziva ngathi kukutsiba kwindlela yam kusasa, ukuvuselela imetabolism kunye nomzimba wosuku. Ukunyusa akuzange kuhlale ixesha elide njengoko ndiyithandayo ikhofi, kodwa kubangele ukungazinzi kwaye kwandivumela ukuba ndigxile ngaphezu kwesiqhelo emva kwekomityi enye.

Ndazibuza ukuba ingaba iinketho ezithengiweyo zevenkile ziyathelekiseka na. Ndenze uphando kwaye ndafumana uphawu olubizwa ngokuba yiCideRoad Switchel. Iresiphi yabo inditsala umdla kuba bongeze "irifu yobunikazi" kwitonic yesiko-idash yesiraphu yemoba kunye neblueberry okanye ijusi yecherry ukuba ufuna incasa eyongezelelweyo.

Ndizithandile iinguqulelo zabo ezinencasa. Ukongezwa kwencindi yeziqhamo kunciphise i-asidi yesiselo kancinci, ukuze ingcamle ngakumbi njengeGatorade. Ngelixa eyona nto yayiyonwabisa ngokuqinisekileyo, kanye xa ndizama i-fruit-infusions, ndahlala ndinqwenela loo jolt eyongezelelekileyo yokulunga kweziqhamo kwaye ndandiza kuzisela emva kwemini ukuze ndizokuthatha kancinci. Kwakumnandi-incasa igcina ingqondo yam ingabhaduli ukuya kwiyure yesi-3. I-snack kunye nee-electrolyte zindinike amandla ngaphandle kwejitters ngamanye amaxesha eza ne-caffeine yasemva kwemini. (Kodwa ukuba kufuneka ufune ukutya, zama enye yezi zinto zintlanu ezi-Ofisi eziNomdla eziNqanda i-Slump yasemva kwemini.) Oko kwathiwa, Ndincoma kuphela ukusela isiqingatha sebhotile nangaliphi na ixesha. Yonke into iqulethe i-34 grams yeswekile iyonke kwaye undithembe xa ndisithi ukuzisika ngesiqingatha akukho nto isondele ekusweleni.

Ekupheleni kweveki yam yokutshintsha, ndiye ndaqala ukuyiqonda le craze. Ngelixa isenokungabi yinto endiyifaka kwinkqubo yam yemihla ngemihla, esi siselo sinegama eline-wacky ngokuqinisekileyo sibambe isibheno esingummangaliso njengendlela emnandi yokuguqula amandla akho wamandla kwaye uzive ulungile ngelixa usenza. Ngexesha elizayo xa uzifumana kwivenkile yokutya usela i-aisle, umsele we-Gatorade kwaye uye kulwakhiwo lwale ndlela yokhetho yendalo endaweni yoko.
