If you just don't know how to make sweet rice wine, then the next introduction by me is very important.Here's how to make sweet rice wine:1. Soak glutinous rice in water until it can be mashed into a powder.
2. Drain the glutinous rice.
3. Grind the rice wine yeast into powder.
4. Put the glutinous rice in a steamer and add water. Place a damp cloth on the steamer and pour the glutinous rice in.5. Cover and steam for about 40 minutes.During this time, do two things: grind the rice wine yeast into powder and make a "nest" for sweet rice wine with a towel and a cardboard box.
If you are making sweet rice wine in winter, you should add more towels or use a very thick towel.
6. After steaming, check if the glutinous rice is cooked.
7. After the glutinous rice is cooked, place it on a cutting board and stir-fry it while hot.8. Let it cool and knead it with your hands, adding a little warm water.
Kneading the glutinous rice has two purposes: first, the glutinous rice is sticky, and kneading with water can make it easier to handle; second, adding a little water will make more sweet rice wine.
9. When the glutinous rice is kneaded and slightly warm, add the rice wine yeast (leave a little rice wine yeast for later use) and mix well.If you like sweet rice wine, add the rice wine yeast when the glutinous rice is still hot.10. Put the kneaded glutinous rice in a basin (preferably using clay or ceramic basins, stainless steel basins are also fine). Make a nest in the middle and add the remaining rice wine yeast.11. Cover and place in a warm place for about 24 hours.
If the weather is hot, you can check the temperature after 15-6 hours. If it's too hot, remove the towel and let it cool down. Otherwise, the sweet rice wine will be too sour.
After 24 hours, open the basin and check. If there is half a basin of sweet rice wine, take it out and cool it, then cover it and store it for about a week.
If there is no sweet rice wine in the basin after a long time, it means that your sweet rice wine has failed.You can also usewhite riceto make sweet rice wine, but you must use rice wine yeast.Sweet rice wine has many benefits.
