Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Wash the lemons and slice them thinly, removing the seeds. Place the lemons with the peel and sugar in a large container.
Step 2
Pour half of the water into a pot, bring it to a boil, and pour it over the lemons, peel, honey, and sugar. Stir and let it sit for a while. Add the remaining cold water. When the liquid warms up, add the yeast.
Step 3
Keep the mead at room temperature until it starts to ferment, which takes about a day. Add a few raisins and 1 tablespoon of sugar to clean bottles and strain the mead into them. Seal the bottles loosely and store them in a cool place. The mead will be ready when the raisin floats to the surface.
