The question of what were the food and drink of the people in antiquity is very curious. The answer is given by archeological excavations, as well as ancient texts.
It turns out that beer was one of the first alcoholic beverages produced by man. Amber liquid was well known in ancient Egypt. Moreover, it was the main menu in the kingdom of Egypt, along with bread.
Initially, to produce beer, the ancient Egyptians used a special type of bread, which scientists called bread for beer. It was crushed in ceramic tubs and left to ferment in water to make the drink. It was a thick and frothy liquid, very nutritious. It was consumed not only for pleasure, but also because the water of the Nile was not clean enough.
The drink also had a sacred meaning and was used in rituals. Over time, the Egyptians learned to make beer from beans and add various ingredients to improve the taste.
There were different types of beer. During the day, a weak version was drunk, with less alcohol and a sweet taste. For dinner and during holidays, the beer had a high alcohol content and a strong taste.
Despite the existence of special breweries, most of the pharaoh's subjects made their own beer. The pharaohs did not monopolize brewing and this allowed the more inventive to create different flavors of the elixir by adding herbs, fruits and other ingredients.
Drinking liquid occupied such an important place in the life of the ancient Egyptians that it also served as a means of payment. The pharaohs created a festival dedicated to the popular amber-colored liquid.
The inhabitants of the Nile valley spread theirs recipes for beer production throughout the eastern Mediterranean. Archaeological evidence shows that people from the ancient land of Israel to Greece produced and consumed beer according to Egyptian recipes.
Israeli scientists have discovered yeast for beer in clay vessels, belonging to the subjects of the pharaohs. The discovery was made during archeological excavations in the Negev desert.
Scientists revived yeast and produced beer using modern technology. The resulting drink has an alcohol content of six percent and tastes like wheat beer. 14-degree mead was also produced.
