Honey Mead

Ahhh, to make Honey Mead, the famous old-timey drink from King Arthur's day.
This is a wine made from honey.
I've added some oranges for flavor and some spices.
Then I let it sit for a year or two.
It's not like I'm exactly patient... I just push it off into some corner aned forget about it for a while.
I've got lots of things to do so I might as well go do some.
​I'll get back to this later.

First off, prepare your spices.

Mix your spices, honey and oranges.

Jug for fermentation.
I don't have one of those fancy one-way air valves so I used a garbage bag with rubber bands.
When the bag fills up, burp it.
