Minty Lemon Oxymel (WITHOUT VINEGAR) + Mocktail Recipe for Summer
Oxymels are an herbal extraction made with an acid medium and honey. Usually, when we think about extracting herbal properties with acids, we look to vinegar. But did you know that if you use citrus juice, you create a refreshing oxymel without that vinegar aftertaste? Our friend Amanda Crooke of David Winston's Center for Herbal Studies has kindly shared her recipe for a delicious lemon and mint oxymel with a bubbly mocktail. It's the perfect refreshing sipper on a hot summer day!
