Oxymel

1 Comment

Some of us like non-alcoholic drinks and get a bit bored with water. I give you Anglo-Saxon Oxymel as an alternative. ( Even though it’s more of a medical drink then a dinner drink)

Ingredients for many many cups (there was 4 of us and I have half the syrup leftover):

  • 1 cup wine vinegar
  • 1.5 cups honey + some sugar (ran out of honey)
  • 1 cup water
  • mint syrup (or fresh mint)

Pour water, vinegar, and honey in a pan, reduce to size of your container.

At the table mix with fresh water as desired. Add fresh mint or mint syrup if desired
