Drink the Drink of Vikings...

Liz, a sales rep for the Colony Meadery (which sells its mead at the Farmers' Market Winter Mart), tells me about one of the oldest drinks in the world: 

"The origin of mead dates back thousands and thousands of years to different cultures: Vikings, Egyptians. They all knew what they were doing with honey. Basically, it's a fermented alcoholic beverage made from fermenting honey, so it's all natural. Water, yeast and honey are the basis for all of our recipes, and then everything else after that is either flavored or infused with things like fresh fruit, coffee--almost anything you can think of for your palate. Whatever works for you, from as dry as can be on up to as sweet as can be. My favorite depends on what mood I'm in, but some of our flagships like the traditional 'Straight No Chaser' or orange blossom honey. There's 'Favorite Child,' which is a raspberry-chipotle mead, so you get the sweetness and then the spice comes through at the end. That one really treats you well."
