Making Your Own Mead shows you how to produce an array of tasty mead variations, by blending honey with herbs, spices, fruits, berries, and more. Just because mead is made from honey doesn’t mean it has to be sweet! Versatile mead can be dry as a bone or seductively sweet, sparkling or still, fruity or spicy.
