Mad About Mead, Nectar of the Gods by Pamela Spence.
Mead, it was the elixir of red bearded Vikings and sloe eyed Sheba. Ancient peoples believed that drinking the fermented honey imparted the divine gifts of prophecy, poetry and fertility.
Far from being an historical oddity, however, mead is now enjoying an international revival. Mad About Mead is geared to those who are intrigued by the idea of mead as well as to those who actually make it.
Bring out that brew pot and get bubbling! Which type of mead would you like? Mad about Mead by Pamela Spence includes recipes for them all.
On a brilliant autumn day, try the honey-pumpkin mead known as Howling Jack.
Do you have the sniffles? Try Honey Mint Brandy, based on a traditional recipe that kept American colonists warm and sneeze-free. For a cold January evening, drink some of the earthy mead known as Rhizamel, symbolic of hibernation, made of honey, fruit, and root vegetables.
Mad about Mead includes complete, step-by-step instructions for making all sorts of meads. As you savor Fire Dance Wassail, Celtic Crusher Metheglin, or Raspberry Melomel, you'll also read about the many mythic and historic uses of mead. It was an ancient beverage when Aristotle drank it, and it was already steeped in mythology when Arthur used it to toast his knights.
Once you understand the techniques of making mead, perhaps, you'll be able to add to the legends and lore of this marvelous drink. Maybe you'll invent a new flavor as you create magic in your life, resulting in your own lore in years to come.
