Mead is an ancient drink made from fermented honey.
Many believe that mead was the first alcoholic beverage made by
man. It has an interesting history; this is where the term
"honeymoon" came from, for instance. A traditional mead is made and
served much like a wine. We like it that way, but as you might
expect, there are variations to it, like adding fruit (called a
melomel) or herbs (called a methaglin) or malt (called a braggot).
Meads typically are slow to ferment, and improve greatly with
aging.
