Palek, also known as paleg or mineovaheng, is a traditional Filipino alcoholic drink from the Batanes Islands made from fermented sugarcane juice. [1] [2] It is flavored with ebony bark ( Diospyros ferrea ), which turns the drink black. [3] It is traditionally served in a halved coconut shell and passed from one person to the next. [4]
