I've heard old timers here in the PA Coal Region talk about a drink called "Birch" (not birch beer, not wine), but none of them know how to make it. Has anyone come across a recipe like this, or have any other good birch recipes
Did some googling as I am from Appalachia originally and a big fan of birch beer. But found this. Not sure if this is what you are thinking but this is at least a reference.
