sweet rice wine

With this recipe, you can easily make authentic Chinese sweet fermented rice wine (jiu niang, 酒酿) at home with 3 ingredients: water, sweet rice (also known as glutinous rice), and yeast. This kind of fermented rice drink is super sweet and very low in alcohol level (2.5% ~ 3.5%). Chinese families (including Chinese kids) love to eat it as a healthy dessert, since it contains a good amount of nutrients and beneficial bacteria.
