- Put the honey into the water and bring to a simmering point.
- Skim, then pour into a bucket and allow to cool.
- Add the orange and lemon juice, the yeast, such as an all-purpose wine yeast, and the nutrients.
- It is essential to add a suitable nutrient, as the honey lacks essential minerals.
- Pour the mixture into the fermentation vessel and fit it with an airlock, allowing it to ferment completely.
- This process is likely to take significantly longer than most country wines.
- Rack the mixture when no further bubbles are rising.
- Mead should ideally be matured for at least a year,
- But one must be quite strong-willed to follow this advice!
