Default Ancient Greek Pulp

Ancient Greek Pulp - (Arxaios hylos Kikeon)


NOTES
Kikeon is something between food and drink. The word “kikeon” (κυκεών) comes from the verb “kikan” (κυκάν), which means thickening by continuously stirring. The recipe that is given best resembles the ancient version of “Kikeon”
