Mjød: Mead

No fermenting time, so this is kind of a cheat's mead! A neutral flavoured snaps (eg. Brøndums) or brændevin works better than vodka, I only used vodka because I had a bottle that was taking up space. This works best as an apèritif as it has a relatively high level of alcohol.



Mjød
makes approx 800ml

300ml apple juice
200g honey
375ml water
250ml neutral flavoured snaps, brændevin or vodka
2 sticks cinnamon
zest of 1/2 lemon

Add all except snaps/brændevin/vodka to a large pot.
Slowly bring to a boil.
Simmer, covered, for 30 mins.
Let cool, 5-10 mins.
Add snaps/brændevin/vodka.
Stir well.
Strain into a large sealable jug or bottle.
Let cool completely before refrigerating.
Serve chilled.

    Hence why I call it *cheat's mead* ;) there's no brewing or fermentation with this recipe.
