Palm Wine is a local beverage with natural sweetness and shallow alcohol content freshly tapped from a fallen palm tree's trunk. The expert palm wine tapper using age-long practices carefully makes a rectangular incising on the top trunk and bores a pencil hole at the bottom; this is fitted with a bamboo stick, and the liquid drips through the bamboo and is collected in a clay pot or a container. However, when palm wine is not consumed within two days, it becomes fermented. The fermented palm wine is further distilled to obtain a very high-alcohol locally called "AKPETESHIE," with more than 70% alcohol content. We will break for lunch, then continue our quest to Elmina.
