glutinous rice wine

sweet wine yeast

Wash the glutinous rice, soak in clear water for 12-16 hours, soak until crushed by hand, and then soak in water two or three times to remove the glutinous rice

Put the dried glutinous rice on a steaming plate with steaming holes (you need to lay a layer of drawer cloth (I use gauze) first, so that the rice will not block the holes of the steaming plate, easy to cook), put cold water on the pan, boil the water, steam over medium heat for 20 minutes. If the rice feels hard to eat, sprinkle some water and steam for a while.

Put the glutinous rice mixed with yeast into a container that has been blanched with boiling water and dried in advance, compact the glutinous rice, dig a small hole in the middle, then sprinkle some yeast around and on the hole, and add a cup of cold boiled water.

Cover, wrap it with a towel or quilt, and place in a warm place to ferment, maintaining the temperature at 29-31 degrees. It can usually be eaten after 24 hours. Notes: 1. The materials and containers used in wine making must be clean, oil-free and raw water, otherwise the wine will mold. If it is moldy, you can take out the mold spots and steam them to eat. 2. The glutinous rice used to make sweet wine must be steamed. Once, I used an electric rice cooker to cook rice. As a result, the sweet wine could not be brewed and turned into vinegar.

After brewed sweet wine, the hole in the middle has been filled with fermented wine. If you want the wine to be strong, just open the lid for 3 or 4 days; if you don't want the wine to be too strong, you can open the lid and enjoy it for 24-48 hours. In addition, you can steam it again to kill the fermentation bacteria, and there will be no wine. I prefer sweet wines with wine.

The brewed sweet wine can be scooped out with a clean oil-free spoon and put in a bottle. The longer it is left, the darker the color of the wine will become and it will become real rice wine. This bottle has been in it for several months, and its color has turned light yellow. The wine is very strong. Warm a small cup before going to bed and drink it will also help you sleep.

Sweet wine can be eaten alone (preferably warm), chicken stew can be added, eggs can be added to make fermented eggs, red dates and wolfberry seeds can also be eaten together. When stewing wine and making soup, it is best to add one or two slices of ginger to remove the moisture in the wine.
