mitrobeHOW TO MAKE AN HOMEMADE ALTERNATIVE PALM WINE – ZIGIHOW.COM.NG
In Africa, Expecially in Nigeria Palm wine plays a very important role in traditional celebration and it is always a must have.
Since a lot of us live outside Nigeria and can’t get our hands on it, this could be a close substitute, if you must have it at your event.
I have to make it clear again that, this is a regular palmwine, but a simple method of making alcohol that looks like, smells like and tastes like Palm wine.
It is made in the same process as the tappedpalm wine, just that instead of fermenting the sweet tasting palm sap with yeast present in the gourd, we will be fermenting sugar cane or sugar with normal baking yeast or brewers yeast.
Ingredients for Palm Wine substitute:
– 200ml cool water (in a plastic bottle)
– 50ml warm water
– 10-12 spoonful sugar or sugar cane )
-10 grams fresh yeast(3 grams dried yeast)
– A balloon(to check fermentation)
– A rubber band( optional)
