Guo Fu Aijie Sweet Rice Wine in Small Clay Bowls

Sweet rice wine in small clay bowls is made by mixing steamed glutinous rice with crushed wine yeast balls and then putting the mixture into small clay bowls for fermentation.

When the weather is sizzling and people are vulnerable to get heatstroke, a bowl of appetizing sweet rice wine can be a soothing choice. The wine is very low in alcohol content and tastes sweet and mellow. It is believed to be able to relieve summer heat.
