Tej, or tejj, is an Ethiopian sweet wine, similar to mead, that is typically made from fermented honey and a special kind of hops called gesho. It is traditionally served from a vase-like vessel called a berele. If you can't find tej or mead in your neighborhood, this recipe is a rough approximation. I tried this once at an Ethiopian wedding and it's quite delicious! Enjoy!

water

honey

In a small saucepan, heat the water and honey over low flame, stirring until the honey is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and chill completely.

Pour the honey water and wine together into a decorative glass decanter, mix together and serve lightly chilled.

This was so good and so sweet! It was also light, as I find some wines are heavy and dense.
