Semi-dry Mead

Mead, a fermented beverage made with honey and water, is perhaps one of the oldest, predating wine and likely precursor to beer. Its use was widespread among ancient peoples. In Europe, it was consumed abundantly by the Greeks, Celts, Saxons, and the northern barbarians. The Greeks called it melikraton, and the Romans called it mulsum. According to Pliny, the first recipe for making Mead was given by Aristeo, King of Arcadia. Columella, a Latin writer from the beginning of our era, mentions in his work De re rustica numerous formulations used by the Romans.
