@StephenAbraham great post bhaiiii...
Toddy is also one of the most famous drinks of my native place that is Bihar. Being a landlocked area and is absence of coastal lines there is less coconut trees, hence here people used to extract toddy or tree juice from palmyra tree (taad 🌲).
I like this drink very most, specially which is freshly obtained from the tree.
Since alcohol was banned by the state government, Toddy has become the last option for the people to get high 😂😂😂....
It is now saviour for the alcoholic person.
They also mixing some chemical to ferment it very fast....

Hi @StephenAbraham,
I really enjoyed reading about the way you obtain and consume toddy. Those toddy collectors look so skilled, climbing the tall trees with such ease!
I was surprised to learn how quickly the palm sap fermented. For how long can you preserve it? Can you find bottles of toddy in shops, or is it usually consumed fresh/after a night of fermentation?
Next time I visit Malaysia, I'll try it!

@DeniGu It will keep a few days in the fridge, the longer we keep it, the stronger it gets. Most people will consume within 2-3 days. Most welcome to Malaysia, India, Sri Lanka where we can find this. 🙂

Thanks for your reply, @StephenAbraham!
The colour of the toddy really reminds me of the Japanese fermented rice wine, called sake. I know that sake is used in some rituals, like for example a cup of sake is passed around by a priest on New Year's eve to everyone who went to the temple to pray for a good year.
Do you know if toddy is also used in some rituals?
