What is mead and why should you make it? (And why should you make it like a Viking, of all things?!) Jereme Zimmerman, the author of \u201cMake mead like a Viking,\u201d explains all of the above in this light-hearted episode. Mead is a unique honey-based fermented drink that is simple and fun to make. Jereme unlocks the brewing secrets of the ancient Norse, as he demystifies the process of home-brewing mead. You\u2019ll learn lots about mead today and you'll hear Jeremy\u2019s own story about he got into brewing it, and how he began to embrace the\xa0natural, homesteading lifestyle.

In the conversation, Jereme makes a case for including more ferments in our diets. There are health benefits related to making your own ferments, of course (whether you're making mead, kombucha, sauerkraut, or kefir). The active enzymes and probiotics in such\xa0foods\xa0are\xa0great for gut health; the antioxidants are\xa0cancer-fighting agents;\xa0and our\xa0immune systems benefit\xa0from all of the above. But our lives are enhanced by more than just the physical boost\xa0of these foods.\xa0Making mead (and other fermented foods) requires cooperation with nature, which\xa0makes us more sensitive to life's beauty and mystery. And in the process of mead-making,\xa0bonds are built with the community around us. So, get to making your fermented drink and raise a glass to your health!
