Water from the Dry Sea

The main part element of the Feast from the Dry Sea is, as you may have expected, the food. It varies from one place an culture to another, some adding certain ingredients or using a family recipe, others sticking to boiling the main ingredient.
This main ingredient comes from a plant that can only grow in the desert and currently exists just in the Dry Sea. While the ideal is to use fresh vines, most people practice the ceremony in other regions and they have to use dried vines, roots and, sometimes, the skin of the seeds; it depends on how far they are and the methods they use to preserve it.

History

Before the lake dried, the meal of the traditional Feast from the Dry Sea was prepared with a plant that grew in the lake, out of the reach of the villagers who live in the area. Navigation would have been impossible in such shallow waters. The only way to get the vine was to wait for the clouds to bring it to the shore while they clean to make their winter refuges in the surface of the water.
In their attempts to protect the birds and their customary journey when the lake dried, the Birdwatchers tried to grow several bushes and creepers in the Dry Sea. The only plants that survived are called Water of the Sea Dessert, because thy gather the liquid during the rainy seasons and storage it to survive during the rest of the year.
The clouds seemed happy to weave their homes with its vines, so people decided that it would be a good substitute for the main ingredient of the Feast from the Dry Sea, but they aren't consumed in normal meals neither are they harvested for water.
