    Recipe list -
    Orange mead
    1 Gallon of water
    2.5 pounds of honey *or more if you want - amzn.to/29w9TEz
    2 oranges (with peel)
    2 cinnamon sticks - amzn.to/29w9HVY
    handful of raisins - amzn.to/29AWk45
    1-3 cloves - amzn.to/2a029qc
    Champagne yeast - amzn.to/29w9Zfe
    Airlock - amzn.to/29tbRza
    You can add different ingredients, or just do honey only. Its entirely up to you!!

    Came across your video by coincidence. Tasted honey wine for the first time in Ethiopia and loved it. Will have a go at making some mead today, have all the ingredients, but cool storage is a bit of a challenge (always hot here), hope it will work anyway, tks again!

    For those of you who like history, the term "honeymoon" came from the Vikings. When newly Weds would get married their immediate families were given 6 months in advance before said wedding to make enough mead to last the newly weds a full moon cycle. Honeymoon.

    Looks like a great recipe, I like to see mead being simplified like this, there seems to be a lot of stigma in the brewing community over 'rushing' mead.

    Thanks for explaining the addition of the raisins. I could not see how 5 would add much flavor at all. Also, the balloon as an air lock is a cool trick.

    Wow, this technique was simplified so much 😆 There's many ways to customize a brew with different alcohol levels or sweet vs dry and much more. But this video is great for piquing someone's interest and from there they can expand their knowledge
