Hello folks
I just came into a significant amount of Mint Honey and would like some ideas on how to proceed with making this into a great mead. The honey is a caramel colour and has caramel flavour. Mint is in there too but is fairly background.
The person that gave it to me said there was a possibility the honey had been heated too much but did a basic enzyme test and it looked to be ok.
My current plan is to make 2, 5 gallon batches and split both of those into 2. One batch is to be straight up Mint Honey Mead, the others I intend to add fruit, herbs or whatever.
Right now the only thoughts I have on this is to try various combinations of Lemon, Pepper, Star Anise and maybe Rosemary.
Do you folks have some ideas, done this before? I would be very appreciative of any and all help with this.
