    What can I do with Mesquite Honey

    Hi, new to the forum. I used to make mead many moons ago. I was in Trader Joes and saw Mesquite and decided right then I had to try it in a mead. Then I realized I wasn't sure what to do. I looked around several forums and the only suggestions were a show mead and prickly pear melomel. I...
