Learn how to make mead! Sample rare varieties and take home 4 bottles of our special recipe just in time for Spring. Mead, or honey wine, has been enjoyed as the drink of the gods for thousands of years. It's a magical, potent brew but it's simple to make in your own home kitchen. In this workshop, we'll explore: +¬†the magical lore of honey wine: from Zeus to Beowulf, the Aztecs to Queen Anne.+¬†metheglin, cyser, pyment, melomel, hippocras, and other honey-based beverages+¬†the health properties of honey and mead, and how one man lived to be 120 years old surviving on honey alone.+¬†how to infuse your mead with fruits, spices, and medicinal herbs. We'll sample odd and curious meads, including a Viking-style mead made with bee venom. And of course we'll make our own batch of herbal mead! Students will go home with a detailed instructional manual and recipes for brewing their own batches. After a month of fermenting, bottles of the mead we brewed in class will be ready for you to pick up at Gravel & Gold. Seats are limited to 10 persons.
