One of the popular dishes on Christmas day is no doubt a Glazed ⁣Christmas Ham. Here I will show you how to make a mouth-watering ⁣Glazed ⁣Christmas Ham.

⁣

This dish is one of my childhood favourites, whilst growing up in Sri Lanka. “Nattu Kozhi Rasam” (Rustic Free-Range Chicken Soup).
This is an excellent Rasam broth you can make for your family. It’s an excellent way to clear your cold. It’s very comforting to drink when you are not keeping well and very easy to digest too.
This is an extremely simple recipe with some exceptional flavours.

⁣The dying art of toddy tapping is fascinating, but a dangerous tradition.

One of Sri Lanka’s most distinctive boozy beverages is Toddy, made from coconut syrup.

The sap is extracted and collected by a tapper. Typically, the sap is collected from the cut flower of the palm tree. A container is fastened to the flower stump to collect the sap. The white liquid that initially collects tends to be very sweet and non-alcoholic before it is naturally fermented.

Are you ready for Episode 3? With your favourite Ceylon Arrack Cocktail in your hand?

In this episode, you will get to see the Art of Toddy Tapping and the process of making Arrack.

Do you know that Rockland Distillery is the world’s first certified green distillery!

The adventure of Arrack tells the tale of how Ceylon Arrack came to be. A full interview with the CEO/Managing Director of Rockland Distillery on the popular brand; CEYLON ARRACK!
From the fragments of records and the travelogues of explorers, traders and invaders who sailed to Sri Lankan shores in centuries past and fell captive to the island’s enchantment, it seems that the island’s coconut Arrack – or at least a primitive version of it is centuries old, making it one of the oldest distilled spirits in the world.

But it was only in 1924 that a small, family-owned company pioneered the modern process of coconut Arrack distillation.

The story of Rockland Distillery is itself a saga of adventure, spanning nine decades and encompassing incredibly volatile times for the industry and indeed the country. To produce a truly unique Sri Lankan product that has more than stood the test of time.
