Oxymel to help boost your immune system

How to Make an Oxymel to Boost Your Immune System

What Is an Oxymel?

The term oxymel comes from the Latin meaning “acid and honey.” And though it has a long history of medicinal use in different cultures, it’s just a simple combination of apple cider vinegar and raw honey

Ingredients

Raw apple cider vinegar helps alkalize the body, which in turn kills bacteria and viruses. Making infused vinegar extracts the beneficial properties of herbs.

Raw honey relieves sore throats and inflammation [source], and it makes the vinegar much easier to take.

Herbs such as ginger, echinacea, lemon peel, sage, thyme, rosemary, mint, or garlic have natural anti-inflammatory and healing properties.

Immunity Oxymel Instructions

Choose your herbs: Select the herbs you want to use for your oxymel. You can use a single herb or a combination, depending on the flavor and potential benefits you’re seeking.

Prepare the herbs: If using fresh herbs, gently wash and pat them dry. If using dried herbs, measure out the desired amount.

Combine vinegar and herbs: Fill your glass jar about one-third full with the chosen herbs. Pour raw apple cider vinegar over the herbs, covering them completely.

Infuse the mixture: Seal the jar with the lid and place it in a cool, dark place like a cupboard or pantry. Allow the mixture to infuse for about 2–4 weeks.

Strain the mixture: Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove the herbs. Squeeze or press the herbs to extract as much liquid as possible.

Measure honey: Measure out an equal amount of raw honey to the infused vinegar. For example, if you have 1 cup of infused vinegar, use 1 cup of raw honey.

Combine vinegar and honey: Heat the infused vinegar slightly first then add the raw honey and mix well.

Bottle and store: Pour the mixture into clean glass bottles or jars. Seal them tightly with lids.

Label and date: Label your oxymel with the ingredients used, the date it was made, and any specific instructions for use.
