Mead is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting honey mixed with water, and sometimes with added ingredients such as fruits, spices, grains, or hops. The alcoholic content ranges from about 3.5% to more than 20%. The defining characteristic of mead is that the majority of the beverage's fermentable sugar is derived from honey.
The term honey wine (or 'honey' in the book) is sometimes used as a synonym for mead.
Mead was produced in ancient times throughout Europe, Africa and Asia.
