I first met "Zhu Se Jiu" in the "Yang Di Ji" of Zheng'an Life. Squeeze 250g of fresh plums into juice, mix well with rice wine, take 1 cup each time in early summer. Drinking plum juice wine in summer can make women look beautiful, so plum wine is also called "resistance wine".
It turns out that the plum wine I brewed last summer still has such an effect. I learned on the Internet that this "Zhu Se Liquor" came from the "Xuan Chi Shuo Lin" by Sanyi Yin Yuan Wuming in the "Shuoyu" volume: "Li Xuan, vulgar Still eating plums, the people said: "Lixia can eat plums, which can make the color beautiful." Therefore, Japanese women take the plum juice and drink the plum juice and drink it, which is called the color wine."
The plum juice is mixed with wine, the project is huge, and the time for plums to go on the market is only a few days. It is better to soak in rice wine, and use the earliest green plums on the market. The plum wine is fragrant and sweet. When it was opened this year, it was highly praised, but unfortunately only a small bottle was made last year. This year, I took advantage of the plum wine and made two big bottles. I hope that in the beginning of summer next year, I can enjoy a drink and enjoy the soft and mellow "Zhu Color Wine" with my family and friends. "

Tips:
The rice wine I use is 50°C, and the brewed fruit wine is about 30 degrees. The fruit wine brewed by low-grade rice wine is more fruity, but it is not easy to preserve. The soaking of fruit wine with licorice is to remove dampness. If soaking with sorghum wine, there is no need to add licorice.

When washing the fruit, it's best to be "luxury" and pour some wine to clean it, so as to ensure that the fruit will not get water. The fruit washing wine is not included in the ingredients.
