Electuary

An electuary is a medicine consisting of a powder or other ingredient mixed with something sweet such as honey to make it more palatable.

[1] In German and Swiss cultures, electuary (German: Latwerge or Latwerg) is also more generally a thickened juice and honey preparation with a thick, viscous consistency that is used in for culinary purposes, such as a (bread) spread or as a sauce ingredient.

[2][3] In the Indian Ayurveda tradition, electuaries are called Lēhya (लेह्य)[4] (literally, "lickable").

The fermentation of mixed herbs in honey and their effects on each other, increases medical properties already present and creates new ones.
