Using Mocha, can I create an object on a before hook, use it within the test and then dispose it in the after hook?

My application has some integration tests which require it to connect to a test database.

The problem is that, for every test, I need to create a connection, use this connection inside the test, and than dispose the connection after the test, regardless of whether the test passed.

I know Mocha has beforeEach and afterEach hooks, but I'm not finding a way to create an object on the beforeEach function, have access to it inside the test, and then being able to dispose it in the afterEach function.

What should I do?
