Traditional Cyprus Epsima
Epsima is concentrated grape juice that looks like honey. It is mostly made from black grapes. The grapes are blended and juice is produced, it is also known as "moustos" or "moustari". "Moustos" is then boiled in a big pot, named "hartzi". The foam produced by heat is removed with a big spoon. "Moustos" is boiled twice and white dirt is added to it so as to absorb all dirt. This is how "epsima" is produced, namely a black ropey liquid with a sweet and sour taste.
