Learn to make herbal mead, AKA metheglin, using simple processes and ingredients from your garden or farmer’s market. Mead is a simple fermented honey alcoholic beverage. Adding herbs and spices for their flavoring and medicinal qualities makes your mead a metheglin (or metheglyn) from the Welsh meddyglyn (“healing drink”).
