1 beet, peeled and finely chopped
1/2 cup ground black mustard seeds
1/4 cup salt
1/2 gallon water
Cheesecloth

In a large jar, mix everything together, cover securely with a double-folded sheet of cheesecloth, and set in the sun about a week, bringing it inside every evening. By the end of the week the drink should be very spicy and sour. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate at least 2 hours and serve chilled.
