Albert hoffman found a way to produce a ergot derivative with the means that the Greeks possessed at the time.

I always found it interesting that the mentions of kykeon remind me of what we call in the southern USA, grits. Depending on how you cook it can be rather soupy. And kykeon sounds like it was used as a ritualistic "power drink" until people could sit down and have a proper meal.

I'd say the Kykeon was a highly revered and very powerful psychedelic potion-meant to facilitate and initiate communion with the 'holy other'.

This is my favorite KZread channel. You have so much knowledge, you must know about Ancient Mediterranean cuisine than anybody!

You're probably one of my favorite youtubers, this was fascinating to watch and I loved the myths that you told to give the recipes context

I've looking for this recipe for ages great video

The first tastes more like a modern drink, while the second ... is a bit stranger. The story of this myth is beautiful.

I fucking love this channel. Nobody that I know of in KZread made Kykeon with as true-to-text accuracy as yours!

After reading about it, I had to search to see if someone made it. I'm actually very pleased and surprised that you've recreated it exactly as described.

great tips

Maestro!

Thank you so much! The second one is so bad haha. But the first one is yummy! I did it with mint, but I'm going to try to get some pennyroyal and make it again!

Awesome upload.,..stay in touch dear friend 👌 👌 👌 💖 💕 😍

I want to try this using barley malt powder, the stuff they use to make malted milk.

Add a splash of ergot contamination...

In Italy, we still have this kind of recipe. In my region (Basilicata) but also in the provence of Foggia is really diffused what we call "vin cotto" wich is really similar to this except for the cheese. We eat it during the "Morti" holidays. Maybe it might be a plate derived from the Magna Grecia tradition or from the ancient cult of Persephone and Ade.

HI MAX!

WL Dan frc osm💯👍👌

Excellent, this was the first drink after the mystics fasting.

you forgot the ergot fungus

Should it be sweet? Mine was sweet

By chance, did you get the idea for this from TastingHistory?

Actually, from Homer, an author we studied and translated at school. And then, obviously, Hippocrates, Galen, Aristoteles, and others. You find our research work explained in our blog.

I've always thought the barley powder mentioned in Homer's works is actually barley malt power, the stuff they use in malted milk and malted chocolate balls (Whoppers/Maltesers, depending on your location).

TastingHistory also attempted to make kykeon but I don’t think it was as informed as well as this one.

okay, but does it works? does it have a trip into the deeper states of mind? within mind? and also how can I know how much is the perfect dose personally for me? I'll be glad if someone will answer honestly and competently. tnx

its true, the kykeon used in the ritual of the eleusian mysteries was psychoactive and induced a trip of some sorts, but we dont know what exactly happened, since these rituals and their experiences were kept secret. So how could the kykeon be psychedelic? The Barley is the key ingredient here. Ergot is a fungus that can grow on barley. LSD is extracted from the Ergot fungus. maybe the ancients used the infected barley in some way for the kykeon to gain psychedelic properties. That woudl explain how the ritual would enduce a trip. but that requires that the ancients knew of a way to extract a compound from Ergot that is at the very least similar to LSD as we know it

@@KO-lq1yo No. You would need ergot alkaloids for that. But no one has been able to find which alkaloid and or mixture/ratio was used. It was highly secret and I'm sure the Christians destroyed any evidence of the original ingredients. They couldn't have people having direct communication with god.. 😕
