We make herbal mead according to the traditional cold recipe from the honey of our bees. We do not cook honey. This mead has been matured in long oak together with a mixture of herbs and spices. Its taste is mild, pleasantly bitter after the herbs.
We recommend drinking it chilled or heated to a maximum of 50°C.
