In my hometown of Sichuan, there are a lot of people who can make sweet rice wine, so I'll share the method of making rice wine at my home with you for your reference.

One, use high-quality glutinous rice and soak it in water

When making rice wine, make sure you use glutinous rice, which is the only way to get the best flavor out of the wine. If you have a home grown glutinous rice, you can directly use the latest glutinous rice this year. If you don't have any at home, you should buy it from the supermarket and make sure it's fresh and of good quality.

After selecting a good glutinous rice, put them into a basin and wash them with water; then add enough water to start soaking, so that the glutinous rice can absorb enough water.

The freshly soaked rice has already absorbed enough water, so it doesn't need to be boiled again, and can be steamed directly in a cage drawer. During this period, you need to make sure that the fire is always high, and only after the glutinous rice is cooked, can you turn off the fire, and then let the cooked glutinous rice cool down naturally.

During this whole process, make sure that the rice has cooled down and that the rice wine curd is fully dissolved. In addition to ensuring that the mixing is even, there can be no missing places, I recommend that you can appropriate more rice wine quartz water, is conducive to the mixing of glutinous rice.

Finally, put the evenly mixed glutinous rice into the prepared container and seal it in a cool, dark place. Wait for the fermentation of the rice wine and the glutinous rice to transform into sweet rice wine. This is how a delicious, flavorful sweet rice wine is made.
