Rhodomel (Rosehip Mead)
- Difficulty

Published 2024
The rose is a prickly beast of a plant that doesn’t relinquish its fruit gladly, but scratched hands are a small price to pay for a foraged bag of the versatile, vitamin C-packed berries that will feed this mead. Marry your rosehips with a lightly flavoured honey if you can, so as not to swamp the berries’ subtle, fruity flavours.
Ingredients
450 g 1 lb 1.5 kg 3
Method
- Wash the rosehips, then mash them up with a mortar and pestle (or wrap them in a plastic bag/towel and bash with a rolling pin), then stuff them inside a muslin bag.
- Put the bag in a saucepan along with 2l/70fl oz/8 cups water, bring to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes, skimming off any scum that rises. Remove from the heat and allow to infuse for 24 hours.
