Babracot

/ˌbæbrəˈkoʊ/ noun

Definition

A North African fermented beverage made from dates, grains, or other fruits.

Etymology

From North African Arabic dialects, related to terms for fermented drinks. The exact etymology is uncertain, but it reflects indigenous North African beverage-making traditions.

Kelly Says

Babracot is practically forgotten in English now, but it shows how every region had its own 'beer' before modern brewing—fermentation technology developed independently across the world because humans everywhere discovered that yeast does its magic!
