About Greek beer ~
It is said that the ancient Egyptians taught the ancient Greeks the technology of brewing beer. Some historians speculate that Dionysus Dionysus, the god of wine in Greek mythology, is actually Dionysis, the god of beer in ancient times (only one letter apart). Saphocles, a famous ancient Greek writer, emphasized the golden mean, and his recommended recipe was "bread, meat, vegetables and beer". Other early Greek writers such as Xenophon and Herodotus also mentioned beer.
About 5, years ago, in the ancient Egyptian empire under the rule of Pharaoh, beer made of thoroughly baked barley bread was an important food in the daily menu, and it was also a sacrifice. At night, people gather in the "beer house" to drink. Beer is a common drink in ancient Egypt. From aristocrats to farmers, beer is one of the basic elements in their recipes. Beer is not only a drink, but also used for medicine. A medical document in 18 BC recorded more than 7 prescriptions, of which about 1 contained the word "beer".
Later, it was introduced to Greece ~
Introduction to Greek coffee ~
Greek coffee originated in Arabia, and it was rich in flavor and cooked in a small classical copper pot with a long handle named briki. This kind of pot is very heavy, but the brewed coffee tastes better. Most people who like this copper pot will say so, and of course, add thick cream.
serve coffee in a small cup, and you should not drink it to the bottom: there must always be a layer of residue at the bottom of the cup. Whether as a foil for conversation or to help you ponder, this is the most Greek way to start a day.
In the past 3 years, there is a kind of Greek coffee that is very popular, especially among young people in summer. It can also be a kind of instant coffee. Just add sugar, milk and ice cubes to the coffee and stir it up and down in a blender.
unlike espresso, Greek coffee should not be drunk after a good meal, but at any time!
