Hi beautiful Herb Enthusiasts!
I was excited to read the original challenge about creating an oxymel (ossimelo in italiano) - a cider vinegar and honey carrier for whatever herbs we want to ingest in a more pleasant form!
I began a tad late, as my kitchen was upside down during stove installation - but thanks for the reminder 
I already had good organic cider vinegar (though the original post got me fascinated with making my own: next kitchen project!) and some local honey from a bee/ organic woman who I know and trust very well...
It is a beautiful thing indeed, to know how to create powerful home remedies and medicines! I use herbs in tisanes and food, pelvic steaming and bathing, and am glad of a new way to use them, and a reason to learn more about the plants directly around me.
As my current interest and needs are around subtle core healing of sacred feminine and integration of sacred masculine - for my first oxymel, I wanted something for the heart of deepest self-care - so I added roses and lavender to the honey and cider vinegar... plants foraged from the abandoned gardens below my Italian medieval quarter abode.
Then I added a pinch of salvia/ sage to the mix...
The thick set honey took a bit of stirring to break it up!
But then I got to the lovely shaking part:
Now the jar is ensconced in my cantina (the central cellar) - out of the way of the new stove, which is billowing great clouds of glorious heat around the whole house! - it's there in the dark, exuding the herb qualities into the nectar, next to my baskets of walnuts...
And it's next to the fridge, which reminds me to shake it every time I walk by: this is an important part for me, of making things food-and-medicine-related, as it's easy in a busy kitchen to forget something on a shelf or inside a cupboard; I've found it powerfully useful to store all things precisely where I will see them, according to when I'll need to tend to them or use them!
