    Add one gram of sweet wine yeast and 125 ml of purified water, and stir well.

    Place it in a clean container, press the glutinous rice firmly, make a hole in the middle to easily observe the fermentation, cover it, and ferment at 25-28°C for 48 hours.

    Observe the wine emerging from the dimple. About two-thirds of the wine comes out of the dimple. Taste the rice wine; if it is sweet and mild, proceed with the second addition of water for fermentation. Add 250 milliliters of purified water, ferment in an environment below 18°C for 10 hours, then transfer to the refrigerator for cold storage.
