Exact preparation according to the recipe of Greek Physician Galen
Consumed diluted with water
Undiluted as a dressing
Non-Alcoholic
Ancient Greeks combined the sweetest natural product, honey, with the sourest one, vinegar, to make oxymeli, a drink in the form of a concentrate.
In Oxymeli, the benefits of the two ingredients—the good juices of honey and the thinning effect of vinegar—are combined and highlighted, while the excessive sweetness and tanginess cancel each other out.
Oxymeli has a pleasant taste, goes well with ice and is best consumed slowly after dinner. It is digestive, quenches thirst and relieves the burning sensation after a heavy meal. Does not contain alcohol.
You can use it undiluted in cooking or as a dressing on salads and meals, such as lettuce, cabbage, grilled or steamed vegetables, lentils, yogurt, apple slices, etc.
Consumed diluted with water. For dilution, use a small glass for measuring. Place 1-part oxymeli in a large glass. Dilute with 6-parts water, without ice, or with 5-parts water and a moderate amount of ice or with 4-parts water and plenty of ice. Stir lightly. Add water or oxymeli if you find it strong or light respectively.
