Method
- Start by washing and hulling the strawberries. Slicing them increases the surface area for better flavor extraction during fermentation.
- In a large pot, combine the sliced strawberries with 1 gallon of water. Bring it to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
- Once the strawberries have softened, remove the pot from heat and stir in the honey until dissolved.
- Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
- Using a funnel, carefully transfer the cooled mixture into your fermentation vessel.
- Add the yeast and yeast nutrients to the vessel, gently swirl to mix.
- Seal the fermentation vessel with an airlock and store it in a dark, cool place for about 2-4 weeks.
- Once fermentation is complete, siphon the mead into clean bottles, avoiding sediment, and seal the bottles.
- Let them age for at least another week before enjoying.
Notes
Serve chilled. Pair with light cheeses or fruit desserts for a delightful treat.
