Pulque: The Traditional Mexican Fermented Alcoholic Drink
Pulque is an unusual beverage made from the fermented sap of the agave plant. Its origins date back to the Mesoamerican period.
Ingredients
- Spring water or filtered water – 4 gallons
- Dark agave nectar – 8 1/2 pounds
- Dried coriander seeds – 1/2 oz
- Champagne yeast – 1 pack
Instructions
- Before getting started, prime your champagne yeast 1-2 days beforehand.
- Then boil your pure and filtered or spring water.
- Once it reaches a boil, remove the brew pot from the heat and add pure agave syrup to it. You can even add crushed coriander seeds to the brew for a delightful floral aroma.
- Ferment it for two to three weeks and then wait for another week for the sweetness. The last week of fermentation is up to your taste buds.
