Toddy is a traditional drink made from the sap of palm trees, often referred to as toddy palm or palm wine. It is typically fermented, resulting in a mildly alcoholic beverage that is popular in various regions, especially in Southeast Asia and parts of Africa. The drink is usually served fresh and can vary in taste depending on the type of palm used and the fermentation process.
In addition to its alcoholic version, there is also a non-alcoholic variant known as "sweet toddy," which is simply the fresh sap collected from the tree. This sweet sap is enjoyed for its refreshing taste and is often consumed as a natural energy drink.
