Heroic Dreams - All Things Medieval

I was watching a little bit of the spelling bee last night and was amazed by the spelling skills of the kids. They left me in the dust. Anyhoo in the final rounds a word came up that surprised me: “Rhyton”. It’s an ancient Greek cup in the shape of a horn and often having the shape of an animal on the end. Sounds to me like something that would have been perfect for mead .

I guess I should give up my Mazer and graduate to the more sophisticated Rhyton

A mazer is a plain wooden bowl.

A little update on my mead making:

This weekend I am doing another video tutorial on how to make mead and next weekend I am brewing up five more batches including:
- Cranberry Walnut Mead
- Peach Mead
- Pear Mead
-Chocolate Cherry
- Cherry Vanilla

Hopefully they will be passable come the christmas holidays!

If you are curious about Mead Making you might want to take a look at my website where I have full tutorials and lots of information about the wonderful drink. The Joy of Mead
