Hi there,
I wanted to do I quick update post on the oxymels I made 3 weeks ago for the contest the Herbal Hive had put up.
They are soooooooo good 😊 I just had to share it with you and say big THANK YOU again to #theHerbalHive for introducing me to this elixir. I am simply in love with everything about it - the ingredients, the simple process and the result!
So I've been shaking the oxymels every single day 😁 and I tried them just once to see how the taste is developing. And they were delicious then...but today mmmm when I opened them today....The scent when I removed the lids was just divine, from both of them!
Just look at the diffeence between the herbs and the color from day 1 and today.
I decided I will do two step strain...since I am out of cheesecloth, I used strainer first to remove the big parts, and theeeen I used (pantyhose) nylon sock 😄 to remove the fine parts... if you are out of cheescloth, this works great 😁 I started with the Respiratory oxymel.
Look at this beautiful color! And then I took a sip 😍❤️ the taste is waaay better then I expected. It is flowery, sweet and slightly sour. I thought the vinegar will be too much but no, it is perfect. The elderberry flowers gave very good scent and flavor, and the after taste was hard to describe ....amazing is close. The honorable judges took a sip too and declared the mixture approved...yay one more healing elixir the kids like, feeling powerful here😄
I repeated the whole thing with the Sleepy Time oxymel. OMG when I removed the lid, the lavender, aaah the lavender, just such a soft aroma!
The taste of this oxymel was again incredible, can't say better than the other one but I would definitely take bigger sips from this one. Maybe because I love lavender or the mix of herbs really goes well together but my first thought was I have to make more of this 🤩 I cannot wait to go to bed so I can have my shot of Sleepy Time 😄
I know a lot of people participated in the contest, did you try your oxymels? I bet they are awesome.
And if someone here haven't heard of oxymel, or they have and wonder if they should do it - Just do it, you will love it!
I will observe how my body is responding to the oxymels in time but I know from right away that my soul is very excited to experience those flavors.
