How to make a spirited oxymel with Spruce tips!

In this quick video i show you how to make what i call a "spirited" oxymel which indicated the presence of vodka!

So unlike a traditional oxymel that is just vinegar+honey+herb i add in 100 proof vodka and i tell you why!

Also because i see i spaced mentioning it let this set for 6-8 weeks in a cool dark place shaking once a week then press out and enjoy taking a dropper full as needed!

That's exactly how it's supposed to be. You take care of things for the winter, and the winter for spring and summer. So getting your medicine ready in the summer for the winter is exactly what people should be thinking you are so right Miss April👏👍👏👍👏👍

This is just what i was looking for, thanks so much April❤ I wanted to add alcohol to my oxymel but wasn't sure if it was possible, now i know!

I just made a quart, with heaven only knows what amount of spruce tips, raw organic acv, raw organic cat claw honey, and Everclear, because that's what I had in the pantry. Wish me luck, and thank you so much for the video! And thank Ball for their new leak proof caps. Acid resistant, non metal. Yay!

Love your approach in your videos. Such a beautiful jar. I think it requires a rubber gasket to prevent leaks.

I live in a valley... a national grass land ... and we have beautiful plants I love to just be outdoors and enjoy the flora and fauna my husband makes videos riding his motorcycle and tries to capture the veiws from his bike we will eventually make vlogs wandering around on foot and try to get some good shots and try to do justice to the beauty of North Dakota if u wanna check it out his YouTube channel is called Travis Baumler ... take a look if u wanna see some nice veiws of the ND valley if u want to 😊 ...I'm really happy I found your channel iv been trying to get more acquainted with the plants around me and learn what I can use them for so thank u 😊

Where did you get your jars from-? I can only find ones with metal lids- or very tiny, or super large fermenting jars- could you post a link? Am living in Mass, we have blue spruce that make a beautiful salt, and tea. looking forward to trying the Oxymels
