Our 1st Spice Mead | Vanilla Bean and Chamomile | Part 1

Today we are trying something different from a spice mead recipe we found online. The main ingredients are dried chamomile flowers and a whole vanilla bean. It's also our first time working with a champagne yeast. Lot's of new "firsts" for us. We are super excited to see how it all works out.
