Procedure for making tej in Ethiopia:
1. In a large pot, combine equal parts honey and water. The amount of honey and water used will depend on how much tej you want to make.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly to ensure the honey is fully dissolved.

4. Add a handful of gesho leaves to the pot. Gesho leaves are traditionally used in Ethiopia to give tej its unique flavor.
5. Continue to simmer the mixture for another 30 minutes, allowing the gesho leaves to infuse their flavor into the tej.
6. Remove the pot from the heat and let the tej cool to room temperature.
7. Strain the tej to remove the gesho leaves and any impurities.
8. Transfer the tej to a clean container and let it sit for at least a week to allow the flavors to meld together.
9. Serve the tej chilled and enjoy!

Ingredients:
- 1 cup honey
- 1 gallon water
- 1 piece gesho bark (optional)
- 1 piece Rhamnus prinoides bark (optional)
- 1 tablespoon yeast
Procedures:
1. Prepare the gesho (fermenting vessel):
- Wash a large earthenware or glass container (gesho) thoroughly with hot water.
- Place 1-2 cups of boiling water in the gesho and let it cool to room temperature.
2. Boil the water:
- Bring 1 gallon of water to a boil in a separate pot.
3. Dissolve the honey:
- Add the honey to the boiling water and stir until completely dissolved.
- Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly.
4. Add the gesho bark (optional):
- If desired, add 1 piece of gesho bark to the honey mixture.
- Gesho bark adds a distinctive flavor and aroma to the tej.
5. Add the Rhamnus prinoides bark (optional):
- If desired, add 1 piece of Rhamnus prinoides bark to the honey mixture.
- Rhamnus prinoides bark is believed to have medicinal properties and is used to enhance the flavor of tej.
6. Cool the mixture:
- Transfer the honey mixture to the prepared gesho.
- Let it cool to room temperature.
7. Add the yeast:
- Sprinkle the yeast over the honey mixture.
- Stir gently to combine.
8. Cover the gesho:
- Cover the gesho with a clean cloth or lid.
- Place it in a warm place (70-80°F) for fermentation.
9. Fermentation:
- The fermentation process typically takes 5-7 days.
- The mixture will bubble and foam during this time.
- Stir the mixture occasionally to ensure proper fermentation.
10. Bottle the tej:
- When the fermentation is complete, strain the tej into clean bottles.
- Seal the bottles tightly and refrigerate.
11. Aging:
- Tej improves with age.
- Allow it to age in the refrigerator for at least 6 months before serving.
Tips:
- Use high-quality honey for the best flavor.
- Keep the fermentation temperature consistent to ensure proper fermentation.
- Do not over-ferment the tej, as it can become too sour.
- Be patient, as making tej is a slow process.
