What you will need:
- 1/4 Chinese yeast ball - 4 cups of glutinous rice, it should be raw.
- a tsp all-purpose flour - Medium-sized tray - Rice steamer or any similar - Container with lid - Airtight bottle or jar - Tray
Course of action:
- First, soak raw the glutinous rice in hot water for about 1 hour.
- After 1 hour, drain the rice and then steam the rice in a steamer or colander above boiling water for 25 minutes.
- After, spread the rice out on a tray for 2 hours and let it cool down.
- While waiting for the rice to cool down, you can grind the cheese yeast so that it will form into a uniform powder and then mix it with the flour.
- By the time your rice has cool down, mix it with the yeast mixture using your hand until it is evenly blended.
- Transfer the mixture into the container that you prepared with lid and cover tightly. Allow the mixture to ferment in a warm and dry place for 1 month.
- Strain the rice mixture to separate the rice (mash) from the liquid (rice wine). Once done, wrap the mash in cheesecloth or any similar material to extract the remaining rice wine.
- Place the wine in a container and cover. Place it inside the refrigerator to stop the wine from fermenting and turning into wine. Normally, wine will turn into amber to black color when aging.
