ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Tapuy

Okay kiddo, today we're going to talk about something called tapuy. Tapuy is a special Filipino drink that is made from rice.

Now, let me explain to you how tapuy is made. First, you take some special kind of rice and soak it in water for a few days until it starts to sprout. Then you grind up the rice and mix it with water and some yeast.

After that, you put the mixture into a special container, like a big jar, and let it ferment for a few days. Fermenting means that it sits and bubbles for a little while, kind of like how bubbles come up in soda when you open it.

Once the tapuy is ready, people in different parts of the Philippines drink it for different occasions. Some people like to drink it during ceremonies, like weddings or funerals. Other people just like to drink it for special occasions with friends and family.

So, there you have it! Tapuy is a special rice drink that people make in the Philippines by soaking rice, grinding it up, mixing it with yeast, and letting it ferment.
