It only took one sip for me to tell him we had to go to the homebrew store the next morning so I could start a batch of my own. We used all the honey I had in the house to make a 1 gallon batch. Now I've got to meet and make friends with some local hobby beekeepers before the end of summer. If the mead goes well, Beekeeping will be pushed a little higher in my queue of future hobbies.
The mead is "Ancient Orange Cinnamon Clove Mead" and evidently is much easier to make than modern meads. The recipe can be found at http://www.gotmead.com onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow. Anyone who has 3 lbs of honey and an empty 1 gal jug with an airlock sitting around should start a batch tonight. It will take at least 2 months to ferment and another 3 months to taste as good as the bottle I drank. If you don't, you'll be sorry in 5 months when I'm raving about how good it is.
