Mead has always been relevant to people’s lives. When they are happy, they drink to have fun. When they are sad, they drink to make them feel sad. There are many types of mead available in the market, and mead is one of them, but what is the best way to make homemade mead?
Mead is made by diluting and fermenting honey with water. It uses the principle of honey fermentation. When there is too much water in the honey, it provides a good environment for the yeast to live in. Under the right conditions, the yeast will continue to grow and multiply, breaking down the glucose and fructose in the honey to produce alcohol and make mead. There are many ways to make mead, but making mead is not complicated. Here is a simple way to make mead.
First prepare 1500g of white honey and 25g of red yeast, then add 500ml of white honey to the water, stir in the red yeast and place it in a clean bottle. The bottle must be dry and clean to avoid contamination or spoiling of the mead. Screw on the lid and seal it, or seal it with kraft paper. It is best to keep it in a warm place to ferment. After about a month and a half of fermentation, the mead will be successful. Strain and remove the residue before drinking.
In fact, there is another popular method. You can try it. Prepare 1200 grams of honey in white water, 120 grams of glutinous rice, 150 grams of dried currants, and 1500 ml of cold boiling water, steam the glutinous rice until it is half-cooked, drain it, then add the honey in white water, dried currants and water, and brew it in a porcelain jar. After a period of time, the mead is ready to be consumed! Honey wine has a pure honey flavor and a moderate sweet and sour taste. It not only retains the nutrients of honey, but also increases the content of amino acids, vitamins and other substances due to the action of microorganisms, greatly improving its nutritional and health value.
