Last October, I started some mead, with a vague notion of holiday gifts (the recipe said it took about two months). But the holidays came and went. Today, I finally got it bottled—well, put into jars. It turned out to be the perfect thing for a bleak, snowy February afternoon.
Not only is it delicious, it took the dreary February light coming through my kitchen window and turned it into October sunshine.
I pretty much followed this recipe: Ancient Orange Cinnamon & Clove Mead (well, except for the two month part).
A Month of Sundries 
I want to make this! I love mead. Especially heated in the crockpot to keep around until it is gone. Which doesn’t take long.
I definitely recommend it. I’m already looking forward to trying another batch, maybe experimenting with the ingredients a bit. 🙂
