Heroic Tales, Wednesday, Period Two
When the students entered the Danger Shop, they'd find it set up with all the equipment necessary to make mead. Okay, so that wasn't specifically from any Midgardian tale, but Thor had just spent a week in a realm that reminded him in some ways of Asgard, and they had been very fond of their mead. And mead was often an important component when telling tales, so... it made sense. Really.
"I hope you all had an excellent holiday," he started out. "If you went on the trip, I am sure at some point one of the local citizens offered you a drink called 'mead'. I thought today we would learn how to make our own, as drinking mead and telling stories often go hand in hand." See? Totally valid reasoning. "Now, typically, mead will take about a month to ferment properly, which is why we are only simulating the process rather than actually creating it. I do not think the school's administration would let me keep several barrels of alcohol on the premises, even if the laws regarding young people and drinking are rarely enforced here," he also thought said laws were kind of silly, but that was an argument for another time.
"To make honey mead, one begins by heating honey, sugar, and yeast together until everything has dissolved..." he started, pausing to let the students complete the first step. The process was slightly different from what he was used to in Asgard, given the relative simplicity of Midgardian technology, but mead-making wasn't exactly a complicated process to begin with. Once everyone had completed all the preparation and had poured their mixture into the container, he pressed a couple of buttons on the Danger Shop controls, and the opaque liquid in the carboys turned much more transparent. "This is what mead looks like when it is ready to be bottled," he said, picking up a siphon. "So, take this, attach it to your container, and begin to fill your bottles."
When all was said and done, Thor handed out several bottles of mead that he had prepared of his own to the students, because really... it wasn't fair for them to do all that work and only have it result in simulated mead. "Just please wait until you are back in your rooms to actually partake in it."
