In this blog, I will share with you a Vikings Blood Mead Recipe that is extremely refreshing.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ gallons Water
- ½ cup Hibiscus
- 4 cups Honey
- 4 cups Strawberries (frozen)
- 4 cups Blackberries (frozen)
- 2 ¼ teaspoon Wine yeast
Instructions
- Combine dried hibiscus with 1 gallon of water in a large pot.
- Bring the pot to a boil, then let the hibiscus steep for 30 minutes.
- In a fermentation vessel, mix honey with 1 gallon of water.
- Add frozen strawberries and blackberries; stir well.
- Strain the hibiscus tea to remove solids.
- Pour the hibiscus tea into the berry honey mixture, stirring vigorously.
- Incorporate wine yeast and mix thoroughly.
- Seal the fermentation vessel with an airlock.
- Allow the mead to ferment for 2-4 weeks or until fermentation stops.
- Maintain a temperature range of 60-70°F (15-21°C) in the fermentation vessel.
- Temperature impacts yeast activity and the mead's flavour.
