KYKEON | The Drink of Greek Heroes

KYKEON
ORIGINAL "RECIPE" (From The Odyssey)
"...and made for them a potion of cheese and barley meal and yellow honey with Pramnian wine."
MODERN RECIPE
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 Cup (100g) Barley Meal
- 1 Cup or more (235ml+) Dry Red Wine
- 1/3 Cup (50g) Goat Cheese crumbled
- 2 Tablespoons Honey
METHOD
1. Add all of the ingredients to a small sauce pan and mix together.
2. Set pan over low heat and, stirring continuously bring to a simmer until thickened. (If the kykeon has thickened too much, stir in more wine until you achieve the desired consistency.
