Not part of this community, so maybe this is a stupid question, but...wouldn't those things taste terrible mixed together?

Edit: just looked up whether you could mix mead with tea, and apparently it is a thing people do. I guess the reason why I thought it would taste terrible is because I've tasted tea mixed with coffee, and it tasted terrible. I also just looked up whether you could mix tea with coffee, and apparently it can taste good too. My whole world of not mixing beverages has been flipped upside down. I'm sleep deprived. I will probably regret this comment.

Yeast will eat away all the sweetness from the syrup (unless the max ABV is hit) so syrup will end up tasting way less (and different). It might be much more normal tasting than you'd think.
