Small Producers In Xochimilco Prepare For The Day Of The Dead In Mexico
Pulque is prepared from Cempasuchil flower petals in Mexico City, Mexico, on the eve of the Day of the Dead. Pulque is an alcoholic beverage of pre-Hispanic origin that is obtained from the leaves of the maguey and is made from the fermentation of mucilage, an organic substance with a viscous texture typical of some plants, popularly known as aguamiel. The Cempasuchil flower symbolizes the Day of the Dead in Mexico. Thanks to its color and aroma, it is one of the most representative elements of the offerings for the dead. It is used to give color to textiles, to make insecticides, medicines, and food, among other uses. The Cempasuchil flower adorns the altars and offerings of the Day of the Dead in the country. By mixing pulque, Cempasuchil flower petals, sugar, condensed milk, and vanilla, this drink is obtained and is only made on these dates. (Photo by Gerardo Vieyra/NurPhoto)
