My daughter brought it from Ireland last year. I'm thinking of drinking it this weekend. Should I chill it? Or leave it at room temperature? heat it up?

I was listening to history lectures about early Europeans drinking mead, but the lectures focus more on drinking mead before during and after battle, with no instructions on prep.

Thank you for any tips

Rest up for round 3 million!
