<br>The Toddy, fermented sap of the coconut flower locally called “Raa” is a local alcoholic drink that can come from palmyra palm (Borassus flabellifer) (Thal) and kitul palm, (Caryota urens) (Kitul) flowers too. Fresh toddy is an oyster-white, sweet, translucent fluid. It is considered as pure as mothers’ milk and traditionally believed that it has many medicinal properties and a refreshing health drink.
