Indigo is traditionally made from the leaves of the indigo plant, which undergoes fermentation to extract the dye. The leaves are harvested, soaked in water, and allowed to ferment for several days, producing a liquid rich in indigo pigments. This liquid is then oxidized, often by beating it, to precipitate the indigo dye, which can be collected, dried, and processed into a powder for use. Modern methods may also involve synthetic processes, but the traditional method remains popular for its historical significance and natural qualities.
