Anyone brew up some mead?

So I brew up some nasty swish on a regular basis, but now that I'm going to be legally able to buy my own drank (soon enough), I'd like to have something that is a bit more...tasty.
It should be ready to drink right about my birthday.
Does anyone have a particularly good recipe? I know I can google it, but I'd rather have some first hand info if ya have it.

Sugar + yeast + water. Turbo yeast, done fermenting in 24 hours, settles out in 5 days and you're ready to forget what happened last night.
Tastes terrible though.

I was gonna give it 5 and drink the first bottle on my birthday (April 20th, yeah. Lol.)
I was planning on using orange blossom honey and an orange in the brew 
Thanks for the tip. Did you just use yeast or did you go all out and get the nutrient and energizer? The recipes I've looked up have all been about 50/50.

I know the proper ways to brew, I've always just done it the ghetto way because I cared more about the end result than the process of getting there (taste).
I vaguely remember my dad brewing beer when he lived here. Mostly because he fucked up and bottled it too early and the shit exploded all over my computer and I couldn't play my DOS games 
I'm thinking I'll be making up a real small batch of mead, prolly only 1-2 gallons for a first try. Then I'll tweak it from there until I get one I like, and then mass produce it
