How to make osmanthus wine

1. Ingredients preparation: Wash Suzhou sweet wine, sugar osmanthus, and glutinous rice, soak them in water overnight for 10 hours, and reduce the amount by half in summer.

2. Prepare a pot of cold boiled water before making fermented glutinous rice.

3. Place the steamer in the steamer, cover it with gauze, put the glutinous rice on it, cover it with a lid, and steam it over high heat for 25 minutes. You can pour a bowl of hot water in the middle.

4. While the glutinous rice is being steamed, put the Suzhou sweet wine medicine in a small bowl, crush it with a rolling pin, and set aside.

5. Rinse the steamed glutinous rice with cold boiled water to separate the glutinous rice grains, cool them down and make them non-sticky.

6. Lift the gauze and drain with cold water.

7. Place it in a plate and cool it down to about 30°C, the ideal fermentation temperature for the fermented rice wine.

8. Start sprinkling Suzhou sweet wine medicine into the glutinous rice.

9. Put the glutinous rice into the yogurt pot that has been sterilized with hot water, and then add the glutinous rice and Suzhou sweet wine in several batches.

10. Finally, stir evenly, flatten it, dig a small hole in the middle, and add a little cold boiled water to facilitate fermentation.

11. Put some sugar osmanthus on top.

12. Place a small towel in the yogurt maker (because the fermentation temperature of glutinous rice 30°C-35°C is lower than that of yogurt 42°C, so some heat should be removed).
