Home-made Sweet Wine
1.
Wash 500 grams of glutinous rice, soak in water for a day and night, soak until the rice can be crushed by hand, control the water, and set aside.
2.
Fill the steamer with water, spread an oil-free cage cloth, turn on the fire, wait for the water to boil, pour the soaked glutinous rice, cover the pot, and steam on medium heat for 25 minutes. After steaming, turn off the heat.
3.
Take 4 grams of sweet koji, put it in warm water (200 ml), mix well, and set aside.
4.
Pour the steamed glutinous rice into a clean and oil-free airtight box, use chopsticks to break the glutinous rice grains, cool to a warm hand state, pour in the evenly mixed sweet wine koji, and mix well.
5.
Use a spoon to dig a hole with a diameter of 3 cm in the middle of the rice and cover it with a sealed lid.
6.
Wrap it with cotton cloth and place it on the radiator (about 35 degrees) and ferment for 36-40 hours.
7.
When the time is up, just open the lid and smell the aroma of wine.
Tips:
The sweet wine is ready and cannot be eaten on the same day. It should be left for 24 hours before eating. When storing, you can pour a bowl of cold boiled water in advance to stop over-fermentation, close the lid tightly, put it in the refrigerator, and take it as you eat.
