Are you one of the lucky ones who has a surplus of honey? A great way to use it is whipping up a batch of mead, a quirky high octane adult beverage that is super simple to make. I have an article in he current issue of Mother Earth News, How to Make Mead from Honey, giving step by step instructions on how to do it.
Mead makers are different kind of folk. We seem to like a challenge, and enjoy the varying results since different honey produces different flavors. And even though the drink is technically a wine, it's not one you can drink in a matter of months. Mead takes at least a year before it's palatable. So you have to be patient if you're going to tackle this project, but for those who like a light tasting (usually), sweet, earthy beverage with a kick it's defnitely worth the wait.
