What it is

A closer look at Palm Wine.

Sap tapped from a palm tree and fermenting from the moment it is collected — milky, sweet in the morning, sour and stronger by evening.

What to look for

Bought from tappers in gourds or plastic jerry cans. The time of day decides the strength; afternoon palm wine is a different drink from dawn's.
