mokuLAB is a manufacturer from Stargard that handcrafts food products and natural cosmetics from hemp. The brand has two products with completely different forms: hemp tea for brewing and hemp oxymel, which is a macerate of vinegar and honey. Both products have a short list of ingredients.
You brew the tea like a regular infusion, and you drink the oxymel by the spoonful or add it to dishes. They also differ in storage: keep the dry herb in a sealed package in a dry and dark place, while the opened oxymel should be stored in the refrigerator.

Hemp oxymel
Oxymel is an ancient recipe: vinegar and honey, in which vegetables and herbs are macerated. The mokuLAB version is based on apple cider vinegar and, alongside hemp herb, contains onion, ginger root, and garlic. The mixture is macerated by hand for several weeks, and honey is added. The list closes with five ingredients of the macerate and honey, without flavors or thickeners.
The taste is sour-sweet and spicy, as garlic and ginger remain in the macerate. The bottle contains 250 ml, and the producer suggests one tablespoon daily, straight from the spoon or mixed in a cool drink. After opening, store the oxymel in the refrigerator.
In the kitchen, it works well as a base for salad dressing, just mix it with oil. The producer also recommends it as an addition to dishes, for example, to beets.
