Mead Wine | Talk About Good!


Mead Wine
Ingredients
1 gallon water
1-LB white sugar
2 pints honey
2 lemons
4 cloves
1/2-oz root ginger
2 sprigs rosemary
1-oz yeast


Preparation
Boil together the water, sugar and honey; skim off the scum. Stand in basin. Add juice of both lemons and peel of one.

Add cloves, well-bruised ginger and rosemary. When at blood temperatures or less, add yeast. This will start fermentation which should be allowed to go on for 6 days. Remove the lemon peel after 3 days.

On day 7, bottle and cork lightly.
