So I plan on doing a mint hydromel (low alcohol mead) that will be the embodiment of Niflheim, the norse world of Mist. To do this i plan on using a mint tea that has spearmint, peppermint, rose hips, and lemon peel so when you inhale after a sip you get a cooling effect/ tingling. My biggest debate on this mead is the fact that it will have little to no body, unless i up the honey and take it away from the hydromel. I would prefer not to use Maltodextrin, and i would prefer not to use any chemicals, I take a somewhat organic approach to brewing but its not a huge priority to me. A possible solution i thought of would be to add some honey in the bottom of the wine glass at serving. If i did a warm honey it would make a good decrative touch and would add a bit of sweetness, and possibly a little body.
The recipe for 1gallon
1 lb Wildflower Honey
4-8 Mint Tea bags (let sit in primary entire time)
1pkg ICV D-47 Yeast
1/2 tsp Yeast Nutrient.
Any Suggestions on the recipe to solve the body problem?
