I'm thinking ahead for Halloween, as it's a favorite holiday in this house. I tossed around various ideas for halloween themed drinks, but ultimately candy corn is the flavor that just says "Halloween" to us.
Seems like a mead would be the best way to go. My only experience thus far is wine making, so this will be a bit of a step outside my comfort zone.
I was thinking of making a "syrup" out of boiled candy corn and water and subbing some of that for the honey. Then back sweetening with the candy corn syrup toward the end. Of course, I'll follow the mead maker's corner to ensure my numbers are right.
Thoughts on this? I looked everywhere for a "recipe," but it looks like I'm on my own here. I'll do a one gallon batch to start.
