Mead (Honey Wine)

Mead is an alcoholic beverage produced by fermenting honey diluted with water, making it one of humanity's oldest alcoholic drinks. Modern meadmaking uses controlled yeast strains and can include fruits, spices, or hops for flavor variations. Mead production is a popular side business for beekeepers to add value to their honey harvest.
