Rice wine is also called sweet rice wine. It is made by fermenting steamed glutinous rice with fermented rice wine (a special kind of microbial yeast). It does not completely belong to the category of wine, but it has the characteristics of wine. Fragrant, because it is made from glutinous rice, the alcohol content of the rice wine is not very high, it is mellow and sweet, and it will not be intoxicating if you drink it directly. Moreover, the wine tank can also be used to make other desserts, such as fermented rice balls and fermented eggs.

Next, I will explain to you in detail how to make homemade rice wine, and how to make the rice wine fragrant and sweet

Ingredients preparation: one pound of glutinous rice, 2.5g of koji, mineral water Water, 250ml of cold boiled water, jar and gauze

Production process: Wash the glutinous rice, wash it several times, and then soak it in mineral water for about 12 hours until the glutinous rice can break into pieces with just a pinch. Spread soaked glutinous rice on gauze. Poke a few holes in the glutinous rice for ventilation. Then steam it in a pot for about 40 minutes. The steamed glutinous rice is left to cool, and then the koji is stirred evenly with boiled water. After the glutinous rice has cooled down, pour the koji water into it, put on disposable gloves, stir the glutinous rice and koji so that they fully contact the steamed glutinous rice, put it into a sterilized jar, compact it with a spoon, and dig a hole in the middle of the glutinous rice. , easy to see the wine status. Seal the mouth of the bottle with plastic wrap, then seal it with the lid. The usual temperature must be maintained at about 33-38 degrees, and the fermentation time is 1-2 days. If the temperature is not enough, use baby warmers and hot water bottles. Then just wait for it to ferment, and you will have fragrant and sweet rice wine to drink in a few days

Tip: The temperature is above 20 degrees, seal it for three days

The temperature is 10 Temper it and store it for seven days. If the prepared rice wine is very hard, it means that the fermentation time is not enough. If the rice wine is not sweet but has a strong wine taste, it means that the fermentation has been overdone. There is no need to add additional sugar when making rice wine, because a large amount of sugar will be produced during the fermentation process. After the rice wine is ready, pour it into a pot and heat it when the taste is just right. , kill yeast, cool, then refrigerate. This way, it can be stored for a longer time. Otherwise, if the fermentation continues, the wine flavor will become stronger and stronger and it will no longer be sweet. Note that bowls, chopsticks, bowls, etc. used in making rice wine must be sterilized at high temperatures, so they must be dried. It can only be used without water or oil

The homemade rice wine is fragrant and sweet, and you can occasionally drink two glasses with friends. I feel happy when I think about it.
