This recipe is so simple that it almost doesn’t warrant a post. But it’s a super quick and easy alternative to T’ej, Ethiopian’s honey wine that’s similar to mead. It’s light, sweet and has a definite honey flavor. Although I wrote down a recipe as a general guideline, you can easily tailor it to your own preferences for alcohol strength or sweetness.
It’s not particular strong, which is great because it sure does go down easy (and fast!). I also found it was an excellent way to quell the fire in your mouth if happened to take a bite of something super spicy.
