Looking at doing my first true Metheglin.. just a small batch to see how it comes out..

I have 3 pounds of Pine barren honey and some heather tips.. but wondering what other herbs might compliment the heather... just a one gallon batch...

Does anyone have any recommendations on whether to boil the heather then use the heather tea as a base, or add it after the honey is in and to the primary fermenter?
