Just so you are clear Metheglin refers to Mead (fermented honey) not
Wine (fermented Grapes or sometimes Fruit) though they are very close in
several aspects. Mead has its own newsgroup (rec.crafts.meadmaking) and
the people there are very helpful. Look for a book called _The Complete
Meadmaker_ by Ken Schramm is apparently quite a good book (I haven't had
the chance to get a copy yet). The planned Medicinal effect of the
Metheglin will of course determine the herbs and/or spices used so you
should consult a book on Medicinal Herbs or perhaps an appropriate
newsgroup (like alt.folklore.herbs). Becareful what you use and how you
use it as you can hurt yourself or anyone who drinks the Metheglin very
easily if you make a mistake.
