Мёд Chrysanthemum - Lion City Meadery

LCM's very first seasonal mead is greatly inspired by how asian grandmothers brew chrysanthemum tea. They would boil large quantities of dried chrysanthemum blooms in water to extract the full flavour of the flowers, and then sweeten the flower tea while still boiling, with rock sugar. We have adopted that same approach with this very special mead. High grade dried chrysanthemum flowers that were specifically graded for use in tea were sourced for this seasonal. We steeped and boiled the chrysanthemums in water, substituted rock sugar with our proprietary blend of honey and fermented the mixture into mead.
