http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sima_(mead)

Sima was originally mead, an alcoholic beverage produced by brewing a solution of honey and water. Nowadays the honey is usually replaced mostly or entirely by different kinds of sugar and there is only a very low alcohol content due to limited fermentation.

Sima's ingredients include lemon, active dry yeast, and raisins. Sugar is added as brown sugar, white sugar, honey or some combination of them. Hops are also called for in some recipes. The concoction of water and the lemon and sugars are mixed, boiled, and cooled to room temperature. The yeast is added and the mixture left to stand overnight. Then it is carefully decanted into bottles and a few raisins are added to each bottle.


we've been drinking mead for thousands of years which is why the recipe has some variation.

I can piss in an empty corona bottle and call it beer but that doesn't mean it's beer. You could get a thousand other people in a city built over viking ruins to all call it beer, but it STILL won't be beer.

No you weren't, because mead is made with honey.

Does yeast even count as a beer ingredient? It's like the outside agent of fermentation. As soon as it is done eating the sugar it settles to the bottom and/or gets filtered out.
