First thing you should do is go read the NewBee Guide. It does a step-by-step walk through of everything you need to know to make mead. Then, try *this* recipe: Joe's Ancient Orange and Cinnamon Mead, it's nearly foolproof: Make a gallon, see if you like it. Make sure you follow the instructions *exactly*.
