MAKING ROSE MEAD - For 1litre - Gather a good handful of organic, fragrant Roses and pour on 750ml of boiling water and leave to infuse for several hours. Strain and pour the tea into a 1litre jar. Add one jar of honey to the tea and stir well. Sprinkle a pinch of yeast on top and then cover with a piece of muslin, holding it in place with an elastic band. Leave this to ferment in a clean, warm place for 7 - 10 days. If you have some Mugwort, let a couple of branches sit on top to keep the ferment "safe" from inferior yeasts or insects or bacteria. Strain into bottles and cap very loosely as the fermentation can be continuing. You can drink the mead now or wait a little longer. After a couple of weeks or so, tighten the bottle top.
Apart from Roses, you could use Meadowsweet - as I did in my other batch of mead (Rose and Meadowsweet), Mugwort, Dandelion roots, Yellow Dock roots, flowers of Calendula, Chamomile, Elder, Lavender, St.Johns' Word and Hyssop. Be creative!! Enjoy and let me know how you get on.

You read my mind, for I was scouring the internet and my books for a rose mead after being inspired by your rose water video. Your videos are the most intuitive of any guide to making herbal preparations. Every other source I've seen or read overcomplicates to the point of causing disinterest, but watching one of your videos and I'm straight in the garden and then in the kitchen. Slainte!

@@DanusIrishHerbGarden The Japanese beetles got to my red roses before I could, but I was able to make a strong tea out of my white roses. I added a few raspberries off the cane for color. It came out a lovely coral. I have something called Easy Fermenter, which is a lid you screw on top of a mason jar. It's essentially a hassle free airlock. You say to bottle after ten days and keep the lid loose for another week or so. Could you tell me why I do that last step of bottling but keeping the lid loose, rather than fermenting in the jar another week and then bottling?

And then you invite us to see what the latest project is, and speak to us in your warm intimate way, as if we are all old friends. And then we take a moment to drink in our surroundings, (the dogs and cats and sometimes the chickens, and all the plant folk who live there), while Lol’s wonderful music plays in the background. It’s a little bit of heaven. I so appreciate your beautiful little films.

So beautiful! I just finished my rose water from your previous video it is so wonderful, why was I buying something that I could easily make from my abundant garden? Habit I guess. Even my husband was interested in the rose water project. So now, yes mead. I do have honeysuckle (mugwort and red clover too, nettles, so many herbs the list is long) but for mead I think I will try rose and honeysuckle. I have a sourdough ferment that is now ten years old, I wouldn't use it of course, I have red star yeast that I will use and if I just keep the mead in the kitchen for a bit the wild yeast in my house will get in because I work with the sourdough every week. Thank you Terri, what a treasure you are!

But when I was a kid, I lived in more of a suburban type area in a valley and when I was like 7 I remember that we used to tell each other to pick the red clover and suck on the stem because it was supposed to taste like honey and we would do that. I don't have a clue who told me that, probably school or something.

I'm excited! I'm going to pick up ingredients to make my very first Mead hopefully this Saturday! Not going to use Rose, I want to make like a Spiced Chai Mead with Ceylon Cinnamon, Clove, Allspice, Black Pepper, Cardamom, and Ginger. Should I use dried ginger, or would fresh ginger work for this? I'm going to make a second Mead alongside it, but am still trying to decide which herb to use. Might end up being Rosemary or Rose Hips, or something else, I am not sure yet. Question -- I don't have access to Mugwort. You stated its a tradition to add to the top to protect it. Could I use fresh sprigs of Rosemary for that purpose?

Hey Linda - yes you could store your bottles in a dark cupboard until you get some coloured bottles. As for vegan honey I don't know what that is. What is it made of?

Not that I know of. Mead is a honey drink. xx

Our house has so many roses, and I’ve had rose water, but now I want to make rose face cream! I imagine I’d have to make an oil infusion

Yes, infuse the fresh, fragrant organic and unsprayed Roses in an oil suitable for the face. Jojoba, Sweet Almond oil or Sunflower oil. xx
