What is an Oxymel

An Oxymel is an old fashioned herbal remedy that has been around for centuries. In it’s most basic form it is simply a mixture of honey and vinegar, which are both medicinal in their own right.
For this recipe I am using sage and ginger, which is a combination that I love. Sage is very beneficial for sore throat’s and coughs, and ginger is a warming immune system stimulant.

Directions
1. First put some sliced fresh ginger in a jar.
2. Add chopped fresh Sage. You want the jar to be 1/4 to 1/3 full of herbs
3. Add raw apple cider vinegar to the jar
4. Add raw honey to the herbs to fill the jar.
5. Fill the jar as full as you can without overflowing it, as you don’t want too much air space on the top. This will prevent oxidation, which can make the herbs turn brown.
6. Cover with a lid and give it a few shakes to combine.
7. Put the Oxymel in a cool place out of direct sunlight to infuse for at least a week and up to 30 days. Then strain out the sage and ginger with a fine mesh strainer before using.
Store the strained Oxymel in a jar with a lid in a cool place out of direct sunlight. It will keep for 6 months or more.
