About Greek beer~

It is said that the ancient Egyptians taught the ancient Greeks the technology of brewing beer. Some historians speculate that Dionysus, the god of wine in Greek mythology, is actually Dionysis, the god of beer in ancient times (there is only one letter difference). The famous ancient Greek writer Sapphocles emphasized moderation, and his recommended recipe was: "bread, meat, vegetables, and beer." Other early Greek writers such as Xenophon* and Herodotus* also mentioned beer.

In the ancient Egyptian Empire under the rule of the Pharaohs about 5,000 years ago, beer made from thoroughly baked barley bread was already an important food in daily recipes, and it was also a sacrifice. . At night, people gather in "beer houses" to drink. Beer was a common drink in ancient Egypt. From nobles to peasants, beer was one of the basic elements in their recipes. Beer is not only a beverage, but also has medicinal uses. A medical document from 1800 BC records more than 700 prescriptions, and the word "beer" appears in about 100 of them.

Later it was introduced to Greece~

Introduction to Greek coffee~

Greek coffee originated in Arabia. It has a strong flavor and is made from a type of coffee called briki. Cooked in a classical long-handled small copper kettle. This kind of pot is heavy, but the coffee brewed tastes better, most people who like this kind of copper pot will say so, and of course, thick cream is added.

Coffee is served in small cups and should not be drunk to the bottom: there must always be a layer of dregs at the bottom of the cup. Whether as a foil to conversation or to help you with deep thought, it’s the most Greek way to start your day.

In the past thirty years, there is a kind of Greek coffee that has been very popular, especially in summer and among young people. This is Feixue coffee, which can also be a kind of instant coffee. You need to add sugar, milk and ice cubes to the coffee, and stir it up and down in a blender.

Unlike Italian espresso, Greek coffee should not be consumed after a good meal, but should be consumed at any time!
