Oxymel Sour Honey

Saint Charles – the Viennese pharmacy on Gumpendorfer Straße, home since 1886 to recipes built on native herbs and Traditional European Medicine.

Oxymel is a honey-vinegar drink made to a time-honoured pharmacy recipe. Saint Charles combines organic blossom honey from the Weinviertel with cloudy, unpasteurised organic apple cider vinegar from Germany. The taste is bold: sweet, tangy, fruity.

The honey comes from the Austrian beekeepers Honig & Co. It is stirred gently and never heated, so the ingredients stay as they are. One or two tablespoons in a glass of water, ideally in the morning before breakfast – or in tea, smoothies and salad dressings.

Why we love Oxymel: it comes from a long pharmacy tradition and still tastes of today. Two ingredients, both organic, both with a clear origin – and a morning ritual done in a minute.
