What is Mead?
Perhaps the oldest known fermented beverage, mead is made by combining honey, water and yeast. Sometimes referred to as “honey wine,” mead can range from sweet to very dry, and can be flavored with flowers, fruits, herbs, spices, vegetables or virtually anything you can think of.
Making mead at home is simple, and if you have equipment to make beer, you should be ready to make a batch of delicious mead!
