Raisin Mead - How to Make Mead at Home

How to Make a Mead with Raisins as a main ingredient.  Mead is honey wine, or fermented honey and water, but can be flavored with many things.  We chose raisins this time, not due to their mythical nutrient properties (which they don't really have) but for their sweet taste and depth of flavor.  Raisin mead and raisin wine were popular 'country wines' made at home until just recently in many places and we aim to bring that concept back.  Sometimes a simple method and a straightforward execution are all you need to make good mead at home.  Our recipe for raisin mead is just that.  You can make it easily with things found at your local grocery store.

Ingredients:
1/2 lb Sun-Maid Raisins (we soaked ours in some warm water to rehydrate): https://amzn.to/37WDBwF
3 lbs Sweet Squeeze Orange Blossom Honey: https://amzn.to/343DQov
Zest of Half an Orange
Add water to fill to the one gallon mark (warm water helps to loosen the honey)
1/2 packet of Lalvin 71B: https://amzn.to/2IHZJSG
