Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup dried schisandra berries (Schisandra chinensis)
  • 1/2 cup dried damiana leaf (Turnera diffusa)
  • 1 cup organic raw apple cider vinegar
  • ½ cup raw organic honey

Directions

Step 1

Combine the Herbs and Vinegar : In a glass jar, mix the dried schisandra berries and damiana leaf. Pour in the organic apple cider vinegar, making sure the herbs are fully submerged.

Step 2

Add the Honey : Stir in the raw honey until well combined. The honey not only adds sweetness but has its own health benefits and also acts as a natural preservative.

Step 3

Macerate for 2-3 Weeks : Seal the jar with a non-metallic lid, and let it sit in a cool, dark place for 2-3 weeks . Shake the jar gently every few days to help the herbs infuse into the vinegar and honey.

Step 4

Strain and Enjoy : After 2-3 weeks, strain the oxymel through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth. Discard the herbs and store the liquid in a clean jar.

How to Use

Take 1-2 tablespoons daily, either straight or mixed with water. You can also add this oxymel to your favorite teas, smoothies, or even salad dressings for a libido-boosting twist.

Enjoy!
