An Elixer Of Honey

- 10 minutes to make
- Serves 1
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.
Ingredients
- fresh thyme shopping list
- fresh mint shopping list
- 1 tsp good brown cider vinegar shopping list
- 3 oz honey shopping list
How to make it
- "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."
