This came about because I said I had a recipe for this and was asked to share, so hear goes.
They call it a Champagne but technically it's a Mead.
You will need;
2 big buckets
A wooden spoon
1/2Ib fruit or flowers of something edible
3 bags of sugar
2 packets dried yeast (Brewers or Champagne)
1 jar of honey
20+ pints of hot water (Boiling)
A sieve or some netting
Some plastic bottles which can take fizzy drinks, it's best to use the smaller ones, pint size.
Instructions
Fill bucket 1 with boiling water and add mashed fruit/whole flower.
Stir in and leave to cool down for 20 minutes then place sieve over bucket 2
and strain contents of bucket 1 into bucket 2.
Add sugar, honey and yeast and stir slowly for a couple of turns.
Then cover with a cloth and leave in a warm dark place for 5 days.
After 5 days sieve again through a couple of coffee filters and bottle...
Caution: Bottles may explode if the mix is still fermenting.
Enjoy!!
