Ethiopian mead, traditionally known as "tej," is a honey wine cherished in Ethiopian cuisine and culture. Crafted from pure honey, water, and a unique indigenous herb called gesho, resembling hops, tej offers a vibrant sweetness balanced with earthy and mildly bitter undertones. It has been a part of Ethiopian celebrations and meals for centuries, often enjoyed as a communal beverage. Nutritionally, tej provides natural sugars from honey, offering a quick energy boost, along with small amounts of antioxidants linked to the honey's properties. However, as an alcoholic drink, tej can be high in calories and its alcohol content may pose health risks if consumed excessively. Moderation is key when enjoying tej, as part of savoring Ethiopian heritage and its rich culinary traditions.
