I made pink and sweet wine at home with sticky rice and fresh strawberries 🍓🍶

Ingredients

• 2 cups Glutinous Rice (rinsed until water runs clear)
• 200 g Fresh Strawberries (hulled and sliced)
• 1 cup Cold Water (filtered or tap water, room temperature)
• 5 g Active Dry Yeast (fresh, proofed if desired)
• 2 g Additional Yeast (for topping) (sprinkled in the center hole)

Instructions

1. Rinse the Rice

   Place the glutinous rice in a bowl, rinse under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain.

   Time: PT5M

2. Steam the Rice

   Line the steamer with parchment paper, add the rinsed rice, and steam over boiling water for 40 minutes until fully cooked and fluffy.

   Time: PT40M

   Temperature: 100°C

3. Prepare Strawberries

   While the rice steams, hull and slice the fresh strawberries into thin pieces.

   Time: PT5M

4. Steam Strawberries with Rice

   After the initial 40 minutes, gently spread the sliced strawberries over the rice surface, then steam for an additional 5 minutes.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 100°C

5. Transfer to Clean Container

   Move the hot rice‑strawberry mixture into a super‑clean glass container, add 1 cup of cold water, and stir until evenly combined.

   Time: PT5M

6. Grind to a Fine Paste

   Using a mortar and pestle or small grinder, blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth, powder‑like consistency.

   Time: PT5M

7. Cool to Body Temperature

   Allow the blended mixture to sit until it feels warm to the touch, roughly 37°C (body temperature).

   Time: PT10M

8. Add Yeast

   Sprinkle 5 g of active dry yeast over the cooled mixture and stir thoroughly until fully incorporated.

   Time: PT3M

9. Press and Create Fermentation Hole

   Press the mixture firmly into the container, then dig a small shallow hole in the center and sprinkle the additional 2 g of yeast on top.

   Time: PT3M

10. Ferment

    Cover the container loosely (cloth or vented lid) and place it in a warm spot around 30°C for 48 hours.

    Time: PT48H

    Temperature: 30°C

11. Finish and Serve

    After two days, the dessert should emit a floral aroma and taste honey‑sweet. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

    Time: PT0M
