PULQUE, or PULQUE FUERTE

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 644 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PRE-PYR
PULQUE, or PULQUE FUERTE , the
national
  beverage of the Mexican natives. It is prepared by fermenting the juice of a number of
species
  of the
agave
  (agava potatorum, americana, &c.). The cultivation of the
agave
  for purposes of
pulque
  manufacture constitutes a considerable
local
  industry, the
capital
  invested running into several millions
sterling
 . The juice obtained by tapping the agave is termed aguamiel. A quantity of this is allowed to ferment naturally for about ten days, and the product so obtained is termed madre
pulque
  (
mother
  of pulque). A small quantity of this is added to fresh aguamiel, and thereby a rapid fermentation is induced, the pulque being ready for
consumption
  within a day or two. It has a somewhat heavy flavour, resembling sour milk, but it is much esteemed by the natives on
account
  of its cooling, and according to them wholesome and nutritious, properties.
