Homonym: tej (Wine)
Tej is a traditional alcoholic beverage from the Indian subcontinent, primarily made from fermented sugarcane juice or jaggery. It is often associated with the rural regions of India and is known for its sweet taste and relatively low alcohol content. Tej is typically consumed during festivals, celebrations, and social gatherings.
The preparation of tej involves a natural fermentation process, where yeast converts the sugars in the juice into alcohol. This drink is popular in various states, including Rajasthan and Haryana, and is sometimes flavored with spices or herbs to enhance its taste.
