"Tej, or tejj, is an Ethiopian sweet wine, similar to mead, that is made from fermented honey and a special kind of hops called gesho. It is traditionally served from a vase-like vessel called a berele. Ethiopians believe tej was the wine used for a toast between the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon. If you can't find tej or mead in your neighborhood, this recipe is a rough approximation."
