The most well-known legend comes from the Islamic people living in the Caucasus Mountains. It tells how the Prophet Mohammed gave the so-called “grains of the Prophet” to the orthodox tribes in the region and told them that if they shared these grains, the grains would lose their potency.The grains were kept as part of a family’s wealth and passed down from generation to generation in order to ensure their continued existence, but only among followers of Mohammed. Travelers to the Caucuses could sample the drink and many were amazed by it, but the recipe was never shared. Not even the famous explorer Marco Polo was able to learn its secret, though he did write about the drink in his chronicles.
