Recipe for Rose Wine:

Main Ingredients: 500g of rose petals, 2000ml of rice wine, 500g of rock sugar

Secondary Ingredients: 50g of rinse-free goji berries, 1 sterilized 3L glass bottle, 1 sieve

Steps:

1. Choose rosebuds for the petals. Ideally, they should be picked early in the morning before the sun rises, when they are still dewy.
2. Manually remove the rose calyx and stamen, leaving only the petals.
3. After picking the petals, clean them with pure water. Just soak them, do not scrub, try to ensure the petals are undamaged.
4. After washing, drain the petals and let them dry on a sieve. Do not expose them to direct sunlight.
5. The petals used for soaking the wine should be dry. Prepare the other ingredients.
6. First, gently put all the petals into the bottle without compressing them.
7. Cover the rose petals with small grains of rock sugar to accelerate the dissolution.
8. Sprinkle goji berries on top of the rock sugar. Rinse-free goji berries do not need pre-treatment.
9. After all the ingredients are added, slowly pour in the rice wine until the bottle is about 80-90% full.
10. The wine will flow down through the gaps, and the roses at the bottom will be in contact with the wine.
11. After pouring the rice wine, there will be bubbles. Cover the bottle and place it in a cool, constant temperature.
12. In the first week, you can shake the bottle daily to accelerate the dissolution of the rock sugar.
13. It basically takes 3 to 6 months. After 6 months, remove the rose petals, and continue to store the sealed wine in a cool place.
14. After being sealed and soaked for about 30 days, it can be consumed.

Tips:

1. Do not use damaged rose petals to soak the wine.
2. Choose rinse-free goji berries to avoid contamination of the wine with raw water, causing spoilage.
3. The dissolution of rose petals is slightly slow, so don’t rush.
4. If you can ensure that the roses are not treated with pesticides, you can skip washing them and proceed directly to making the wine.
5. If the glass bottle is inflated, you can open the exhaust valve to exhaust. If there is no problem, do not open the cap.
6. The rose has a strong effect on promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, so women who naturally have a heavy menstrual flow should absolutely avoid consuming rose wine during their menstrual period to prevent excessive bleeding.
