Significance

Atole: Mexico’s Indigenous (pre-Hispanic) hot beverage dating back 10,000 years, when humans first domesticated and nixtamalized corn. Traditionally, consumed for nourishment as Mayan and Aztec communities traveled the land. Derived from the Nahuatl (an Aztec language spoken in Mexico) word ātōlli meaning "watery", this cozy drink is often served street-side scooped from huge metal pots by the Doñas of the community. In NYC, classically seen by the street cart vendors of Jackson Heights, Woodside and Sunnyside, currently, risking everything during neighborhood raids. It is a drink that has been nourishing communities across generations.
