We made this with Rhine. It actually did taste alot like mead. We had it on a very hot day and it was wonderfully refreshing.

    This was an experience in wine LOL! I thought it was pretty sweet, but of course it would be with the added honey. It was a fun addition to my African meal. Thanks for posting!

    Very good! I too like dry wines, but (rather surprisingly!) I really liked this! I did use dry white wine since that was what I had, made 1 serving (1 dl wine, 1 dl water, 2 teaspoons honey), and ended up with a lovely summer drink - the wine was not just "watered down" but made into a new smooth drink with the added flavour of honey. Thanks much for posting!

    Mmm, this was really nice, and surprisingly refreshing with the honey in it. I served it REALLY cold
