Braggot is half beer, half mead. I made this back in 2002, when the local wildflower honey was still extremely cheap (and before I switched to all-grain brewing). My technique at that time involved making a two-gallon tea with part of the herbs the day before—in this case, with the yarrow—and refrigerating it in sanitized jars to add to the wort at the end of the boil... a very long boil, as you can imagine. Alternatively, you could just add the yarrow leaf to the wort ten minutes before the end, with all the other herbs, and then steep in the hot wort with the lid on for an additional half hour or so before cooling it down.
