The toddy would ferment during the day and become a bitter and strong drink - rather like wine - by the evening.

But the sweet toddy that we were given in the morning found its way to the kitchen - women would make appams (pancake made with fermented rice batter and coconut milk) from it - and the breakfast table, where children would be given a glass.

Ammachi, did you enjoy toddy?
