Today we prepare two recipes for kykeon, an ancient Greek ritual beverage connected with the Eleusinian Mysteries and Greek myths, following the descriptions that we find in the Homeric Hymn to Demeter and the Iliad.
Independently from the culinary point of view, these two recipes are extremely interesting for all the tradition and history they refer to, which cross all the history of ancient Greece from times that blend into the age of myth.

Ingredients:
Hymn to Demeter’s kykeon
whole-grain barley
pennyroyal

Iliad’s kykeon
whole-grain barley
wine
aged goat cheese
