I would buy a gallon jug and make jaom (google it). It is by far the easiest and will give you drinkable mead quickly. And honey for three and a half gallons isn't to bad to buy.
JAOM doesn't require any knowledge or special techniques.

It's cool to start out with small batches to see if you like meadmaking, but you'll probably quickly find that you get 5 to 6 times the result with the same effort by doing 5 to 6 gallon batches...on every one of my (three) initial 1 gallon test batches that I did, I really wished that I had more when I was done with it all!!

It will really help to explain a lot of mead making questions that will invariably come up.
