A semi sweet mead (approx 20g/l residual sugar) with hibiscus, rosehip, licorice, cinnamon and apple. The herbs provide a smooth structure to the mead with a lingering honey aftertaste. Ideally served at 12-14 degrees Celsius, in a large red wine glass to allow development of the nose.<br /><br />A good stand alone sundowner, a well matched partner to spicy dishes and stir fries, game and poultry and a companion to desserts and coffees.<br /><br />iQhilika is a unique fermented honey beverage (mead), produced within the Eastern Cape region of South Africa. The Xhosa people, and the descendants of the Khoi-San group of peoples who inhabit this region produce the beverage by taking the specially prepared roots of succulents of the Trichodiadema genus and mixing this with honey, fruits and/or spices. Sometimes pollen or an extract of bee larvae similar in nature to royal jelly is added to the brew.
