OK so I'm a home brew geek:

Mead: Honey, water, and yeast.

Pyment: Honey, water, yeast, and fruit.

Mytheglin: Honey, water, yeast, and herbs.

There are other sub-classifications which I won't bore you with. Suffice it to say that a properly brewed mead type beverage is a gift from God.

If one were to add maple syrup and blueberries to the honey and water and then let it ferment and settle for say 2-3 months one would have a beverage that reaches about 12% ABV with the color of a purple sunset and a wonderful dry, maple flavor.

By the end of the second bottle...WOOHOO!

In ancient times it was a Death Penalty offense to harm the tribes mead maker!

Best,

I'd say that would be a really good rule for present times, also. ;^)

Hmm, that sounds heavenly. Any recipes online for that? I’ve used honey in some of my homebrews, but never done a full mead. You probably need champagne yeast for that?
