<details text="Wherein I talk about booze..."><summary>Wherein I talk about booze...</summary>Getting interested in making mead again, for some reason.  I'd probably just start with a simple hydromel, but I have some ideas for what I want to try:
- Sharp methyglin - sharp spices, like cardamom, cinnimon, nutmeg, cloves (you know, chai spices)
- Smooth methyglin - smoother spices, like vanilla, almond extract, maybe dandylion flowers, maybe carob?  Chicory? Lemon balm?  Maple syrup?
- Herbal methyglin - yarrow, dandylion greens, basil, lemon balm, mints, wormwood(?), hyssop, you know, the plant stuff. (NB: <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/gv_ranna/56311.html">Herb beers</a>)
- Medicinal methyglin - 'cause, if you're gonna take meds, take them with booze!
- Simple cyser - cider-mead.  Ryan might like this.
- Some sort of melomel - dunno, just to try it.  I'm not really big on berries, but they seem popular.
- Tej or something - honey and hops.

The rest are just fanciful ideas:
- Theamel - TEA!  Earl grey, lady grey, vanilla russian caravan, french blend, maybe even green tea?
- Cafemel - hahaha, coffeemead!  Actually, I see a recipe for orange-coffee mead, and that might be good.  Also, a chocolate orange mead?  Thought chocolate, I'm not sure of.
- Floramel - flowers; lavender, rose, those things that used to grow outside the house on dartmouth?  Or maybe sweeter things, like dandylion flowers, meadowsweet, &amp;c.
- Nucumel - can you make tea out of nuts, like almonds and hazelnuts?
- Simple cyser - cider-mead.  Ryan might like this.
- Some sort of melomel - dunno, just to try it.  I'm not really big on berries, but they seem popular.
- Tej or something - honey and hops.

I'm not really too keen on the idea of milk or chocolate meads, but they may be worth trying.
<em>You know, you've not actually tried mead yet.  You're not even sure you'll like it.  Perhaps you should think about that first.</em>
Pish and, conversely, tosh.  How the hell do you think I get into all of my other obsessions?
<em>Point.  But your other obsessions might not take multiple months to brew.</em>
Point.
