What are the unique ingredients in Adam Ringham's home-brewed Mead, and how do they enhance the experience?

In that batch of Mead I used three standout ingredients: black mangrove honey, blue lotus flowers, and Idaho blue spruce.

• Black mangrove honey gives a deep, mineral, almost molasses-like sweetness with a grounding, earthy vibe.
• Blue lotus adds a dreamy, euphoric, meditative quality to the experience, not just the flavor.
• Idaho blue spruce brings resinous, pine-citrus notes that feel expansive and energizing.

Together they create a sensory experience that is hard to put into words—aroma, flavor, and a very distinct “vibe” that pairs beautifully with plants and quiet time.

Are you thinking of brewing something similar, or just curious about the flavor profile?
