Default Amount of priming sugar for 1 gallon

I have a gallon of Capsumel that I am going to back sweeten with lactose or Splenda (still haven't decided) and then I want to carb it. I have never carbed a mead OR a 1 gallon batch.

How much priming sugar should I use??

OG?
FG?

is the yeast even going to be capable of carbing any sugar? sparkling meads can be a real trick to pull off.

Yeah! I guess that info would have helped. OG was 1.104, FG is 0.999

That should put the ABV at around 13.5% I used Cuvee yeast so the yeast should still be active.
