How to take elderflower oxymel:
- As a syrup: Take 1-2 tablespoons of the oxymel syrup by itself or mixed with water or tea, 2-3 times per day.
- As a gargle: For sore throats, gargle with a diluted elderflower oxymel solution and then spit it out.
- As a salad dressing or marinade: The vinegar base makes oxymel a nice addition to salad dressings or marinades for meat/veggies. Mixing elderflower oxymel with oil and grained mustard makes a flavourful, easy vinaigrette dressing. The sweetness of the honey balances the vinegar, while the mustard adds a zesty kick. A great way to add nutrients and classic flavours to salads or marinades.
Start with smaller doses and increase gradually if needed. Drink plenty of water when taking oxymel. As with any herbal remedy, check with your doctor first, especially if pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medications.
