Toddy is also a [[liquor]] fermented from coconut and palm saps in parts of [[South India]], particularly [[Kerala]] and [[Tamil Nadu]], where it is known by the name of Kallu (കളള) and in the [[Philippines]] where it is known as Tuba. |

* [[Palm toddy]] or palm wine, an alcoholic beverage |
|||
** [[Toddy palm]], several species of palms used to produce palm toddy |
|||
Toddy is tapped by a [[Toddy tapper]] either from [[coconut]] or other [[Arecaceae|palm]] trees. The initial white liquid that is collected tends to be very sweet and is not fermented enough to be alcoholic. After letting the liquid settle and [[ferment]], the drink becomes alcoholic in nature. Distilling Kallu produces a whiskey called [[Arrack]]. |
|||
** [[Toddy shop]], a drinking establishment where palm toddy is served |
|||
* [[Toddy coffee]], a cold water coffee brewing system |
|||
In Kerala, Toddy is usually available at a "[[Toddy shop]]", which translates to "[[Kallu Shap]]" in the regional language of [[Malayalam]]. In [[Chennai]], Kallu is currently banned, though the legality fluctuates with politics. Without legal Kallu, there arises the problem of (lethal) methanol being illicitly sold as Arrack. To discourage this practice, authorities have pushed for inexpensive Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL), much to the dismay of toddy tapers. |

==Cold-brewed "Toddy" coffee== |
|||
[[Image:toddyshop.jpg|thumb|left|200px|People drinking toddy from [[Kallu Shap]] in [[Kerala]], [[south India]]]] |
|||
Cold press [[coffee]] is a brewing process that takes about one pound of coarse ground coffee placed in a closed container and filled with cold water. Wait 12 to 18 hours and drain through a filter into a [[carafe]]. The resulting concentrate is smoother than [[espresso]] and usually doesn't have the bitter bite that espresso shots can sometimes have. It is advertized as being particularly suitable for iced coffee and [[Americanos]]. |
|||
[[Seattle|Seattle's]] Best Coffee Company also is now serving a drink called the "Naughty Toddy". This is not made with [[alcohol]] but instead a toddy coffee concentrate that is made by cold [[brewing]] of coffee and adding to white [[chocolate]] sauce, bittersweet chocolate sauce, half-n-half and whipped cream. |
