Uses for stalled mead? (sopuli.xyz)

Got a few demijohns of mead that stalled, it's like cola for sweetness and if mixed with rum its pretty nice but otherwise it is probably like 3-4%.

What else could I use it for? I think if I drank it all I would get diabetes before I got drunk.

Some things I have tried so far: splash some in a frying pan while frying onions, along with some soy sauce. Soak sultanas in the mead and use them in a steamed syrup pudding.

You've already hit on the best use. It'll replace honey or sugar in glazes, easy peasy.

Secondary to that, as a mixer in sweet cocktails.

Beyond that, it can be cooked down into a syrup and used as such.

Mind you, I only ever tried making mead once, and it was agea ago, and at far smaller quantities. Not sure how well it'll store at that abv, but it can be frozen in ice cube trays. Well, the stuff I had could.
