Instead of Toddy or beer
Nothing gives both the ferment and sourness of toddy; rice beer is closest.
Rice beer or rice wineUse the same weight; slightly sweeter and less sour. Ferment or cook as usual.
Coconut waterUse the same weight with 1/4 teaspoon dried yeast per 250 ml; ferment 6–8 hours longer. No alcohol and less sour.
Soda waterUse the same weight plus 1 teaspoon lime juice per 250 ml. Gives lightness but no fermented flavour.
