Today, it begins!

An apple a day...

I spoke of Cyser but in truth it is Pyment. Apple, grape and honey come together to make a sister to the cyser so popular in the cold season. Last night we racked the apple wine and bottled the metheglin. Metheglin is spiced mead; ours is spiced with cinnamon bark, cloves, all spice, and nutmeg.

And in the midst of all that we found the last bottle of the Blueberry Beer! Thought to have been all drunk up a few months ago, we were delighting and instantly thirsty upon its discovery. The kitchen is awash in the scent of apple, grape juice and sweet baked ham. With most of the Clan gone down to Texas for the last days of Christmas Vacation and other members visiting friends in Kentucky, it leaves the Clan Home empty except for my daughter, Colin and I. Thus giving us the time and space to attend to many projects, namely the brewing. 

May a cyser a day keep your troubles away. :)
