This is Recipe for Sleep, a podcast where we dust off very old cookbooks and let them lull us into dreamland. Your host, chef and storyteller Erin Brindley, will read to you, softly and sweetly, from A Book of Beverages from 1904. Compiled by the Daughters of the American Revolution, you'll hear recipes for switchels, fruit vinegars, punches, and flips until you drift off to sleep.

You can find the original text here.

To read Erin's own recipes and writings, visit her Substack here.
