How to make Korean Makgeolli
1.
Pour 1 liter of water in a container. Add leaven and yeast and mix well until all leaven has melted.
2. Add 7 oz. (200g) of rice flour and stir well with a whisk or hand mixer until there are no lumps.
3. Close the container and let it sit at a room temperature for 3-4 days. Stir it twice a day, morning and evening.
4. After 3-4 days of fermentation, the mixture will form separate layers. Strain liquor through a sieve to sift out the leaven.
5. Keep the liquor in the refrigerator. (Keep the lid loose to prevent further fermentation.)
6. Enjoy home-brewed makgeolli to your own preference by adding honey, sugar, fruit juice or fruit syrup.
