Description

Rice wine is a popular alcoholic beverage in many Asian countries. It's made by fermenting cooked rice with yeast and sugar. The result is a sweet, tangy, and slightly alcoholic drink that's perfect for celebrations and special occasions. Making rice wine at home is easy, and you don't need any fancy equipment to do it. All you need is some rice, yeast, sugar, and a few basic kitchen tools.

Prep Time

Preparing the rice for fermentation takes about 2 hours.

Cook Time

The fermentation process takes about 10-14 days.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of rice
  • 4 cups of water
  • 1/4 cup of yeast
  • 1/4 cup of sugar

Equipment

  • A large pot
  • A strainer
  • A large glass jar with a lid
  • A cheesecloth

Method

  1. Start by washing the rice thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.
  2. Add the rice and water to a large pot and bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce the heat and simmer the rice for about 20 minutes, or until it's soft and cooked through.
  4. Strain the rice and let it cool to room temperature.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix together the yeast and sugar until well combined.
  6. Add the cooled rice to a large glass jar and pour the yeast and sugar mixture over it.
  7. Stir the mixture well until everything is evenly combined.
  8. Cover the jar with a cheesecloth and secure it with a rubber band.
  9. Place the jar in a warm, dark place and let it ferment for 10-14 days.
  10. After 10-14 days, the rice wine should be ready. Strain out any solids and transfer the liquid to a clean glass bottle with a lid.
  11. Refrigerate the rice wine until you're ready to serve it.

Notes

  • The longer you let the rice wine ferment, the stronger it will be.
  • You can adjust the amount of sugar you use depending on how sweet you want your rice wine.
