A curious question - I’ve found some recipes for mead with maple syrup as an ingredient, but so far, they all have honey in them. (The technical term is apparently “acerglyn”…)

I’m vegan, and I don’t consume any animal products, including honey. Is it possible to make a mead with no honey whatsoever? If you’ve got any recipes, I’d appreciate them.

Thanks in advance!
