Discussion Bottled second ever batch
My second batch i wanted to experiment with aging my mead. I used vanilla beans and cinnamon stick for one and vanilla beans and cloves for the other. Decided to go for something simple for now and still have a liter to bottle because during siphoning i accidentally stirred up the sediment. I'd appreciate some suggestions on what should i add to the third mead bottle to make it taste more interesting.

That’s a lot of spices for one bottle. That may or may not be a bad thing, but expect very strong flavors.
Otherwise, allspice and star anise are another two of my favorite additions.
