Worker: Tej is a mead or honey wine that uses a flavoring agent that is similar to what flower that is used in herbal medicine?
Hops Hops are the flowers (also called seed cones or strobiles) of the hop plant "Humulus lupulus." They are used primarily as a flavoring and stability agent in beer, to which they impart bitter, zesty, or citric flavours; though they are also used for various purposes in other beverages and herbal medicine. The hop plant is a vigorous, climbing, herbaceous perennial, usually trained to grow up strings in a field called a hopfield, hop garden (nomenclature in the South of England), or hop yard (in the West Country and U.S.) when grown commercially. Many different varieties of hops are grown by farmers around the world, with different types being used for particular styles of beer.
Malabathrum Malabathrum, malabathron, or malobathrum, is the name used in classical and medieval texts for certain cinnamon-like aromatic plant leaves and an ointment prepared from those leaves. "Cinnamomum tamala" (sometimes given as "Cinnamomum tejpata"), grown most commonly in the eastern Himalayas, is thought to be a notable source of these leaves, although other species of "Cinnamomum" and even plants in other genera may also have been used. In ancient Greece and Rome, the leaves were used to prepare a fragrant oil, called "oleum malabathri", and were therefore valuable.
