The Drink of Heroes: Kykeon

I've decided to include some nonfictional recipes for this blog that I believe would feel right at home in the fantastical world of How To Eat Your Dragon


Kykeon

Background: Kykeon, from the Ancient Hellenic, kykeȏn meaning "to stir" or "to mix" is a popular drink hailing from the Kingdom of Hellenica. Kykeon was greatly popular among the Hellenic peasants and many poems and ballads have been written about the drink. It is the said that the great heroes of old consumed Kykeon before battle and were granted visions of the future and legendary strength.

 

Ingredients:

• 100 Grams of Barley Meal

• 235 Milliliters of a Dark Red Wine

• 50 Grams of Goat Cheese

• 30 Milliliters of Honey

 

Instructions:

1. Crumble up the Goat Cheese. 

2. Add the Barley Meal, Wine, Honey, and Goat Cheese to pot and stir together.

3. Place pot over low heat and stir until thickened. If it becomes too thick add more wine. 

4. When it is to your liking remove from heat and let cool. 

5. Once cooled, pour into a goblet and serve.
