The biggest problem is going to be finding a quality source of honey. Plain old store bought honey won't do. Find a good homebrew supplier. Use mesquite honey if you can find it. It's lighter, ferments better and gives you a cleaner end product. If you like higher alcohol contents, then you're going to need to use champagne yeast which stays alive longer than the regular beer brewing yeasts in the higher alcohol content.

And once you've created your first crisp, dry high alcohol (10%+) metheglin (spiced mead), you might end up hooked on how fun it is to do. Brewing is almost, though not quite, as fun as drinking the result! Then you'll be into the wonderful world of pyments, cisers, metheglin and melomels and more. Good luck!
That sounds sooo goood. :HomerDrool:
