Hibiscus mead is similar to drinks found in the Caribbean, the Mexican Gulf coast, northern South America, and West Africa called sorrel, bissap, flor de jamaica, sobolo, or zobo. The seeds of the hibiscus plant (Hibiscus sabdariffa) were transported to the Americas in the hair of women during the Transatlantic Slave Trade. This mead is made from hibiscus calyces, spices, ginger, and Louisiana wildflower honey.

Yankee Heritage Cyser

Semisweet - 10% alc/vol - 3° Brix

Yankee Heritage Cyser is a semisweet apple cyser made from raisins plus sweet and bittersweet apples. In colonial times, New England colonists added raisins to their fermented ciders to add tannins then sweetened the cider with molasses. Our version features Massachusetts knotweed honey to simulate the dark, candy flavors of molasses.
