Any will do for me.

You can buy it occasionally but it's very difficult to find in the shops. OMG, I just remembered I have 4 gallons of homebrew mead maturing in my coat closet. I probably should check on that. 
I tried putting aniseed in mead once. I was really hoping it would work because then I could call it anismead. It was drinkable but the aniseed was too cool tasting really whereas honey is a warmer flavour.
Nothing wrong with experimenting, now you know eh?

Yep, fear of making mistakes is a drawback more than anything.
To paraphrase I think it was - supposedly - Einstein but it could have been a misquote: "Those who never made a mistake never made anything." But whoever did or didn't say it, it's a cool aphorism. 
I don't know why you can't find more mead. It's pretty tasty.
The stuff you get at the store also tends to be sweetened to ridiculous levels. The ones I've made are actually pretty dry. RE: homebrewing

If you distill mead....the resultant brandy is indescribable.......nothing else tastes like it. Particularly Melomels, citrus really pops in the liquor. I dabble a little bit (and it's legal here - just illegal to transport). The state I'm in has an extension program for small, startup breweries and distilleries, from farm to table....... but no participating case examples with which to build a model operation. It's too cold in my cellar, this time of year, for beer (or wine, really). I brew through the warm months, and distill what's left for winter.
