Do you know how the sap is collected?

ya..it is done by cutting the flower stump("kuumbu") and fastening a container beneath it.
apparently...this is the easy method.
the other is by climbing the tree and placing a container beneath the cut flower stump and retreiving it afterwards..it is called neera or "madhura kallu" ..it has no kick or alchaholic effects..
if it is kept for sometimes..say for 1 day..fermentation takes place(yes..even without east and sugar.)and the resultant drink is toddy.
