An Elixer Of Honey Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Mellybelly / All my dishes 7 months, 3 weeks ago This recipe is from http://white-witch.org. The site is a great source for information on the healing effects of herbs, based on generations of white witch knowledge. I know I don't have access to honey off the comb, perhaps modern day witches may use jarred honey.... More Prep:5m Cook:10m Servings:1	Mellybelly

Ingredients

fresh thyme

fresh mint

1 tsp good brown cider vinegar

3 oz honey

Directions

"To strengthen the constitution and dispel afflictions of the mind and body, this honey elixir has no equal. It is pure and wholesome, and may be taken as a tonic by children, grown men and women, and ancients alike, with good results. Concoct it thus:

Boil in eight ounces of water the fresh leaves of thyme, and mint, a large spoonful of each, until of liquid there be left but an ounce or two. Pour off this brew, and when it is cool add to it a teaspoon of good brown cider vinegar, and also three ounces of honey, strained fresh from the comb. Stir these well until the honey is blended and the whole shines clear. Then it may be sipped, from a wine glass, all or in part. If any is not used, it may be kept in a tightly corked vessel for later draughts."

Wonderful post. I often drink a warm concoction of natural honey, with steeped ginger slices, lemon strips, and cider vinegar to help when I have a cold.

Believe it or not I used this with wound wort AKA Lambs ears and wrapped it around a cut that my wife said it looked like it needed stitches it was so deep. I used raw honey,for it's enzyme qualities.
I kept the bandage on overnight it was all sealed up by morning.
