Palm toddy

Okay, sweetie, so palm toddy is a drink that is made from the juices of a palm tree.

First, someone climbs up the palm tree and taps it, which means they make a hole in the tree trunk to collect the juice. They then put a container under the tree to collect the sap that drips out.

This sap is very sweet and has a lot of natural sugar in it. Over time, the sap starts to naturally ferment, which means it starts to change and turn into a slightly alcoholic drink.

People in some countries like to drink this fermented palm toddy because it tastes sweet and has a bit of a kick. But it's important to remember that it is still an alcoholic drink, so it should only be consumed by adults who drink responsibly.
