DESCRIPTION

This recipe was derived from one I found on the internet but when it came to drinking it I found it was lacking in zing so here is my version. It really is a delicious recipe but be careful! I have no idea what the alcohol content is. This recipe takes patience. The first 5 ingredients are all you need to get started and then you will need to make a syrup to finalise the flavor of the mead later in the brewing process. This recipe calls for no special equipment!
