New to this forum so hi to everyone form sunny England!
I'm a half competent beer homebrewer but never turned my hand to mead. Normally brew pale ales and the occasional wheat beer.
My wife's sister is getting married in August to a chap who's parents are first generation Indian immigrants to the UK.
I thought I'd brew some mead for the wedding as a gift that took some inspiration from the Indian culinary culture.
Being new to mead, I have no idea how well this would work but thought about using a local english wildflower honey and adding the following spices:
cardamon
coriander
cinnamon
cloves
root ginger
chilli
Just in small quantities to give a subtle hint of indian aromas and flavours.
Also the wedding will be in August so it looks like I don't have much time to get this going. Can anyone recommend a solid recipe that will be well conditioned in time for the wedding?
