Sekanjabin.  Oxymel is a general term for honey/vinegar syrups with 
herbs infused, found in Hippocrates, circa 400 BC.

God's wrath is His vinegar, mercy His honey.
These two are the basis of every oxymel.
If vinegar overpowers honey, a remedy is spoiled.
The people of the earth poured vinegar on Noah;
the Ocean of Divine Bounty poured sugar.
The Ocean replenished his sugar,
and overpowered the vinegar of the whole world.

-Rumi, 13th Century Persian poet
