350 g sugar

Wash the lemons and peel them thinly.
Remove the pith.
Slice the lemons and place them with the peel and sugar in a sufficiently large vessel.
Bring half of the water to the boil and pour it over the lemons, peel and sugar.
Stir and leave to stand covered for a while.
Add the rest of the water cold.
When the liquid is lukewarm add the yeast.
Keep the mead at room temperature until it starts to ferment,about one day.
Put a couple of raisins and 1 tsp of sugar into clean bottles, and strain the mead into the bottles.
Loosely cork the bottles and store them in a cool place.
The mead is ready when the raisins rise to the surface.
