Pioneer Mixology: Switchel, Sack Posset and Shrub

A quirky survey of Pioneer beverages. Recipes, tips, and a bit of history explaining the how and why behind what the settlers drank. From clarifying coffee with the swim bladder of a fish (um, YUCK ) to making coffee substitutes with everything from grape seeds to sweet potatoes, this book examines period beverages and how many of them came into being. A fun, sometimes irreverent (but extremely well-researched ) book perfect for history buffs, homesteaders, beverage aficionados, fans of the prairie lifestyle
