I have often read of mead in my studies of English history. On a whim, I 
picked up "Chaucer's Mead" (Bargetto Winery) at my local liquor store 
(Binney's in Chicago). The wine sized bottle comes with two tea-bag like sacks 
of spices and it is recommended drunk warm.

I have no way of knowing if this is even close to being authentic. It is tasty 
in the warm liqueur kind of winter way. Not a summer beach drink. Moreover, I 
would put this in the Foster's / Corona category: not a world-class product, 
but very easy to enjoy and imbibe. I drink a few bottles of this stuff every 
winter.
