Homemade sweet wine

Homemade sweet wine
Although I have lived in the north for more than 20 years and married an authentic northern man, I was born and raised in the south. I have always maintained the taste of southerners in my eating habits and have always had a special liking for the foods that southerners like. Therefore, whenever I have the opportunity, I will cook some of my favorite southern food.
During this period of time, I suddenly missed the sweet wine that I often ate in the south. I went to the supermarket and found that a small cup was nearly ten yuan, which was really expensive. So, I thought of going back to my mother's family and asking her to teach me how to make sweet wine. However, because my daughter had a fever for five or six consecutive days and had been accompanying her for injections, I couldn't go home and steal a lesson from my mother. Two days ago, I took time to check the Internet, and conducted the first test at home according to the instructions of the sweet yeast I bought. As a result, after 36 hours of hard work, my test was successful. It was really super sweet and more authentic than the ones sold in supermarkets. Next, I will take out my homemade sweet wine and dry it in the sun.

    When the sweet wine is ready, it cannot be eaten that day. It must be left for 24 hours before eating. When storing, you can pour a bowl of cold boiled water in advance to stop over-fermentation, cover tightly, place it in the refrigerator, and take it as you eat.
