Ingredients

1	gallon	water
4	pounds	honey
6	each	cloves
2	sticks	cinnamon
1	each	lemon	juice and peel of
1	teaspoon	yeast, active dry

Directions

In a large nonreactive pot, add the next four ingredients to the gallon of water.

Boil all together for 30 minutes, then strain into a crock that will hold it with a little room to spare.

When cooled, add the yeast, dissolved in some of the liquid.

Allow to ferment in a cool place - 55 degrees is ideal - until it ceases bubbling and the liquor clears, then bottle, cap tightly and store in a cool, dark cellar.

It should not be used for at least a month, and longer is better.

Mead unlike many other drinks, does not improve with really long aging, so it should be consumed within a year of the time it was made.
