Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix malt powder with 600ml water, let settle for 20 minutes, and decant the top liquid.

  2. 2

    Repeat once more to make about 1200ml clear malt water.

  3. 3

    Hold rice and malt water at about 60°C for 4 hours to saccharify.

  4. 4

    When rice grains float, strain and add sugar and ginger to the liquid.

  5. 5

    Simmer 15 minutes, cool, chill, and serve with pine nuts.

Tips

If saccharification temperature is too high, the drink can taste muddy.
Rinsing reserved rice grains makes a cleaner garnish.
