Fruit vinegar and vinegar drinks

In short

  • Vinegar is drunk only diluted, at least 1 : 10 with water; for an everyday drink 1 : 20 to 1 : 30.
  • Shrub: fruit, sugar and vinegar 1 : 1 : 1, diluted with water 1 : 6.
  • Oxymel: 1 part vinegar to 1–2 parts honey, in the fridge for up to 6 months.
  • Homemade vinegar is good for drinks and salads, but not for pickling.
  • Vessels of glass, stainless steel and food-grade plastic; never aluminium, galvanised metal or glaze of unknown origin.
