About 500 grams of glutinous rice.

ingredients

3 grams of liqueur koji

Cold boiled water 1 cup (about 300ml) (or mineral water)

Practice steps

1 sweet wine koji

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

3 Put the drained glutinous rice on a steaming tray with steaming holes (you need to spread a layer of drawer cloth (I use gauze) first, so that the rice won't block the holes of the steaming tray, and it is easy to cook), put it in a pot with cold water, and steam for 20 minutes on medium heat after the water is boiled. If the rice tastes hard, you can sprinkle some water and steam it for a while.

4 Steamed glutinous rice, when it needs to be spread to a temperature of about 35 degrees (a little hot but not hot), add sweet wine koji powder (it can be added to cold water and mixed evenly, and then mixed into glutinous rice) and mix well.

5. Put the glutinous rice mixed with distiller's yeast into a container scalded with boiling water and dried in advance, compact the glutinous rice, dig a small hole in the middle, then sprinkle some distiller's yeast around and on the hole and add a cup of cold boiled water.

6 Cover, wrap with towel or quilt, and ferment in a warm place at 29-3 1 degree. Usually you can eat it after 24 hours. Note: 1, the materials and containers used for brewing must be clean, free of oil and raw water, otherwise the fermented wine will be moldy. If it is moldy, you can take out the moldy spots and steam them to eat. 2. The glutinous rice used to make liqueur must be steamed. Once it was cooked in a rice cooker, it turned into vinegar instead of liqueur.

7 brewed sweet wine, the hole in the middle has been filled with fermented wine. If you want to have a strong wine flavor, open the lid again in 3 or 4 days; If you don't want the wine to be too strong, you can open the lid and enjoy it in 24-48 hours. In addition, you can steam it again and kill the fermenting bacteria, so there will be no wine smell, and I prefer sweet wine with wine smell.

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

9 sweet wine can be eaten alone (preferably hot), you can add chicken stew, add eggs to make wine eggs, and you can also add red dates and medlar to eat together. When stewing wine and brewing soup, it is best to add one or two pieces of ginger to get rid of the moisture in the wine.
