A handful of raspberries could add a great flavor and good color. I'd actually be inclined to add them after to keep more of the sweetness. Maybe backsweeten with a bit of maple syrup.

I want to try making this. Start with a one gallon batch then move up to 6 gallons.

Honey is $15/80oz at Meijer (0.19/oz) and on $55/gallon on amazon (0.43).

Use 18 C honey for a 5 gallon batch.

Metheglin

I'd also like to try making Metheglin, which is spiced mead. Here's what I ant to try

  • cloves
  • cinnamon
  • orange zest
  • vanilla
  • juniper (if I can find it)
  • fennel

A handful of raspberries could add a great flavor and good color. I'd actually be inclined to add them after to keep more of the sweetness. Maybe backsweeten with a bit of maple syrup.
