I have two batches brewing; Orange Lemon and Orange Cranberry...

It was pretty simple, Water, Honey, Yeast and Fruit...

Here are a picture a week into it...

Also, here is a great website to get started...

I have made various fruist based meads before with tropical fruits, the are properly refered to as melomels, and meads are pure honey based. Mine took a long time to mellow out, but they are wonderful. Have fun.
Incidently, the term Honeymoon historically came from the local mead maker giving mead to the newlyweds on the full moon, thought to have increased fertility.!!!
