Making a gallon of mead. Seeing as how it will be a winter time desert drink I planned on labeling it Sir Nils Olaf Spiced Metheglin Mead, but I'm open to other ideas.
3-1/2 pounds of orange blossom honey
1 cinnamon stick
2 0z chopped raisens
1 or 2 cloves
5 or 6 all spice berries
1 cup black tea
1 teaspoon of orange zest
5 grams Lalvin 71B yeast
top off with 'good' water to the gallon mark.
Starting off with an original gravity of 1.128 and looking to end up with a 12% alcohol by volumne.
Should be ready to bottle in 5 to 7 weeks
