Just an idea, wondering if anyone has ever done this before.
Growing up, our cough syrup/cold remedy was to boil an onion, strain out the onion, and add lemon juice and honey to the onion juice. It's an acquired taste- and with enough honey, mighty fine. In college, I started adding whiskey as well. Hmm... alcoholic honey drink.... sounds like mead... but with onion?
I'm thinking of maybe doing a 1 gallon batch so I have some to use as "medicine" this winter, and am wondering if people have suggestions, mostly with the onion.
I'm thinking I'll add onion juice in secondary. I'm wondering what fermented onion juice would taste like, and wonder if campden tablets might be a good idea. Any onion fermenters out there?
