Mead is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting honey with water, sometimes with the addition of fruits, spices, or grains. It is also commonly known as “honey wine”. Mead has been produced for thousands of years and has a long history in many cultures, including ancient Greek, Roman, and Norse.
The basic ingredients of mead are honey and water, which are mixed together and then fermented with yeast. The yeast consumes the sugars in the honey and produces alcohol and carbon dioxide as byproducts. The flavor of mead can vary depending on the type and amount of honey used, as well as any additional ingredients added during the brewing process.
Mead can range in alcohol content from as low as 3% to as high as 20%, and it can be still or sparkling. It can also be served at a range of temperatures, from chilled to room temperature. Mead is often enjoyed as a sipping beverage, much like wine, and can pair well with a variety of foods, including cheese, meat, and desserts.
