Just did a quick Google of ...free hay makers punch recipe... Also seems to go by a number of different names, like Switchel or other variations.. I have tried a couple homebrew cumbotchas (spelling??) that may be great recipes, but not something I would try again..

This is one of seemingly 100s of variations.

My recipe is simple:
4 ground red peppers boiled in a quart of distilled water.
the juice of two lemons.
A big glop of raw honey after you strain it. its good to beat back an oncoming cold or flu

Another tonic is a mixing spoon full of black strap molasses mixed into a shot glass of corn liquor and a tablespoon of white sulfur diluted into a glass of clean water.
