Oxymel bee balm
Bee Balm is one of those magical plants that truly embodies the spirit of my garden. Like one bio-regional herbalist, I grow a wide variety of native and medicinal plants in my home, which is with pride certified as a plant sanctuary. One of my absolute favorites is bee balm, a vibrant and versatile herb that I use in many herbal preparations. By adding it to the sedative herbal tea blends to create a power bee balm tincture for relieving sinus congestion, sore throats and other cold symptoms, this plant never ceases to amaze.
But my love for bee balm goes beyond its medicinal properties. It is a magnet for bees and other pollinators, making it an essential part of my life garden pollinator. Watching pollinators flourish in my garden fills me with immense joy and satisfaction.
Today, I'm excited to share one of my favorite summertime recipes with you: oxymel bee balm. This wonderful herbal preparation combines the healing properties of bee balm with the sharp sweetness of apple cider vinegar and honey, creating a remedy that is both delicious and beneficial. Let's dive into the world of bee balm and explore how to make this wonderful oxymel from your garden to the kitchen.
