I'm spending a lot of time with a new partner who likes "cinnamon, cloves, and vanilla". This reminds me of Kelly's amazing rose mead, and I'm tempted to make a sweet/semisweet mead on solstice to cement an intention with him, perhaps with some rose petals. Working on the recipe now.
The plan is:
A Large Quantity of orange blossom honey (bought 9 kilos, it came in 3 kilo increments)(amount will depend on yeast)
Sweet/low attentuation yeast (will see what bosagrape has)
Nutrient & energizer
In secondary:
4-5 vanilla beans
3 cloves
some(?) cinnamon sticks
some(?) rose petals or tulsi tea rose bags
handful of french oak chips
Also got cranberry honey for mead, it was amazing, on tasting it, how much the cranberry honey was fruity and the orange blossom was intensely aromatic. Very interested to see how it all goes.
