Rice Wine Recipe - How To Make Homemade Rice Wine (1)

Rice wine recipe, homemade rice wine for Christmas. Making wine at home brings in a festive mood, though I do make wine at home often I have not posted other than the pineapple peel wine. Rice wine is easy to make and even a novice cook can make this easy homemade wine.

Rice wine was the first wine I attempted to make after our marriage and it was so perfect that I was so happy with the result. You do not need any fancy expensive rice for this wine; just simple plain white rice is needed.

The other main ingredient is the black raisin with seeds (the one in the picture). I do not know why, but this wine can only be made with black raisins, not the lighter colored seedless one.

I usually use a ceramic jar or bharani to make wine, you just have to mix all the ingredients in the "bharani", so easy!

INGREDIENTS

  • White rice: 3/4 cup
  • Sugar: 1 1/4 kg
  • Instant yeast: 1 1/2 tsp
  • Lemon: Juice of 4 lemon
  • Black raisin with seeds: 3/4 cup
  • Water: 4, 740 ml bottle

METHOD:

  1. Into a clean sun dried ceramin jar "bharani" add in all the ingredients and mix well.
  2. Keep the lid tighly closed (I wrap tightly with a cloth).
  3. For the next 18 days, open the jar and mix with a wooden spoon morning and evening.
  4. On the 19th day strain to another cleaned jar or clean and dry the same jar and pour into it and keep for another 7 days.
  5. Strain and pour into bottles and keep for another week and then you can start using wine.
  6. This wine is a bit strong and you can have homemade wine in a months time.

NOTES

  • I used 200 ml measuring cup.
  • Do not use basmati rice or any flavored rice, just plain ordinary white rice is perfect.
  • The more you keep the wine, the more strong it becomes as it matures.
