MEAD
Mead may well be the most ancient of all alcoholic beverages, as records of ancient mead predate Western Civilization. The ancient Egyptians, ancient Indians and other civilizations from the pre-Hellenic era made and consumed meads.

Ancient Mead

Not tried this myself, and no intent of so doing, but it might interest some daring experimental brewer out there...

The Quest to Recreate a Lost and ‘Terrifying’ Medieval Mead

Bochet vanished for centuries, but meadmakers are bringing it back—at least in spirit.

I've been working on a tepache-style mead for the past couple of weeks. I started with a whole pineapple (skins included), fresh ginger, cinnamon and brown sugar and let it wild ferment until all the sugars were consumed, then I added commercial wine yeast and some chili-infused Turkish honey my parents brought back from Romania a few years ago as a gift. That added a really nice hint of smoky flavor and some mild heat on the finish that blends really nicely with the sweetness of the pineapple and the spiciness of the ginger. I think this is one I'm going to have to make again in a much larger batch. I don't have more of that chili honey, but I have a bumper crop of Fresno and cayenne peppers from my garden this summer that will likely do the trick.

The #moon or sun near the horizon always looks #reddish because it is being viewed through more of the Earth’s air, but the #wildfire #ash takes that effect to the next level. #earth #sky #thunder #orange #buck #hay #mead #guru #Asalha-Puha #vassa #aquarius #jupiter #saturn #planet #space #astronomy #celestial
