Honey is packed full of antioxidants and it is the best way to start the day by drinking apple cider and honey.
For non-alcoholic beverages, honey drinks are most frequently mixed with lemon juice for a pleasant sweet and sour taste, but other fruit flavorings such as apple juice are often added.
Honey wine or mead, made from honey and yeast probably had a lower alcohol content than beer. Since early medieval documentation in Poland suggests that mead was the drink of the rich and noble, and typically the drink of weddings or feasts.
The mead remained a prized and expensive source of alcohol across the known world right up to the reformation.
Mead has survived as a specialist drink, and clings to its reputation as a n aphrodisiac.
Date wine was probably the most popular of fermented fruit juices. Date juice itself had a higher sugar content. It was used as a sweetening ingredient like honey and grape juice but often honey was added before fermentation and the resulting alcohol content must have high.
