Brewing Dandelion Wine or is it mead?

Today we made a leap of faith…making dandelion wine. This beverage is a traditional springtime preparation. The recipe I had called for sugar – plain, old suger – and I hate fermentation with just sugar, so I replaced it with organic honey. Is it now dandelion mead?

Recipe for 2 gallons (actually came out at 2.7 gallons)

• 3 qts dandelion flowers (heads only, remove as much green as possible.)
• 2.5 lbs honey
• 3 lemon (zest and juice)
• 2 oranges (zest and juice)
• 1 gallon water (sugar takes up some volume)
• Yeast
