Acai Mead
Let’s Make Acai Mead – This One was a Little Sketchy!
How to make an Acai Mead. While a pretty simple recipe, the ingredients weren’t that easy to get. Acai berries come from a type of palm tree… I did not know that.
The açaí palm, is a species of palm tree (Arecaceae) cultivated for its fruit (açaí berries, or simply açaí), hearts of palm (a vegetable), leaves, and trunk wood. Global demand for the fruit has expanded rapidly in the 21st century, and the tree is cultivated for that purpose primarily.
This mead had some…. sketch, along the way. How did it end up?
