agave

Handcrafted in Mexico with palm fibers, the 20-by-12-by-10-inch baskets come in two colors, agave and piedra, and have handles that make them easy to move from room to room.

The agave juice is then extracted using a round stone wheel called a tahona before being distilled twice.

Afterwards, they are finished, and more agave must be planted.

Agave plants take up to 10 years to mature before being harvested.

Tequila, the Mexican spirit made from the agave plant, can be found in bars around the world.

Just before serving, add some more lemon juice, salt, pepper, and agave to balance.

The whole is covered with branches, straw, and roots of the Agave tree.

There are a number of dwarf-growing species of Agave that are not so common, although they may be grown with ease.

They were seen to store acorns in the dead stalks of the maguey (Agave Americana).

The traveller in Mexico to-day sees growing all along the sides of the railway huge stiff bunches of the Agave Americana.

Mezcal is the baked root of the maguey (agave Americana) and of another somewhat similar plant.Gregg.
