You can use whatever honey is handy. I've had real good results withraw honey I got from a local bee keeper. It was a little moreexpensive than store bought, but well worth it for the experiment!When making 1.5 liter batches, I only need 12 oz. of honey, and 4 oz.of sugar anyway.Basic recipe for Spiced MeadIngredient Unit amountHoney Lbs 0.75Sugar Lbs 0.33Lemon juice lemons 0.75Apple juice cup 0.75+ about .5 tsp each ground cloves and cinnamonadd water to get your 2-liter bottle 3/4 of the way full.Expect this to take 1-1/2 to 2 times as long as fruit wine to brew.Willum Proud--- "thebirdny" wrote:>> What kind of honey should be used?
