Viking Blood (Cherry Mead) - How to make Mead

How to Make Viking Blood Cherry Mead - Cherry Melomel to be specific, also known as Making Viking Blood, not to be confused with the commercially available Viking's Blod... wholly different thing (I do plan to make my version of Viking Blod though)!
Making Cherry Mead, AKA Viking Blood is easy, and quick. This mead gets its name from its appearance, which is very red, and in must form, thick like blood. It's a very old traditional type of mead, or more accurately a Melomel, of honey, cherries, water and yeast.

This Viking Blood is not to be confused with Viking Blod, which is a newer recipe, though still 300 or so years old. That one uses hibiscus and hops, this one is cherries and honey. Very different!
