Mahua wine is a traditional alcoholic beverage made from the flowers of the Mahua tree. The Baiga tribe, indigenous to central India, have been making this wine for generations. To prepare the wine, the flowers are collected and left to dry in the sun for several days. Once dry, they are crushed and mixed with water to form a paste. This paste is then left to ferment for several days, during which time the natural sugars in the flowers convert to alcohol. After fermentation, the wine is strained and ready to be consumed. The Baiga tribe traditionally drink Mahua wine on special occasions and festivals, and it is an important part of their cultural heritage.
