Texas Cactus Mead - How to Make Mead at Home

Texas Honey and Cactus Juice in a Mead. We had our doubts on this, but hey, it's worth a try, right? Someone sent us this nopali cactus juice and we added Texas honey and voila! Mead. Thanks for watching. For those of you who are curious: Derica was right in correcting herself. Agave is not a cactus, but a succulent. They are often confused, as cacti are also succulents, but do not have leaves.
