Honey Mead

Honey Mead, which is believed by many to be the oldest alcoholic beverage known to man, is created by mixing honey and water together and letting it ferment.  Honey Mead today is considered a fruity drink, but many modern Alchemists point out that it lacks "Phytoestrogens" or feminizing chemical elements unlike many modern drinks (including beer).
