Title:
"Knatten"S Wormwood Rice Wine for Cooking

Yield:
22 Bottles

Categories:
Beverages




Ingredients:





4 7/16 lb Rice


4 7/16 lb Raisins


    11 lb Sugar


 4 1/4 oz Yeast (baking)


    38 pt Boiled water


     1    Wormwood






 Put rice and water directly into the container. Scald the raisins before


 adding them as they contain wild yeast. Stir the yeast in some lukewarm


 water and add to the container together with the boiled water which is now


 also lukewarm. A bag made of cheese cloth (or equivalent) measuring


 10"*16" filled with dried wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) and a stone is


 placed at the bottom of the container. Stir as frequently as possible for


 the next 8 days. Then leave for 2-3 months before bottling.


 This wine is very dry and perfect for cooking (use instead of white wine


 or sherry).
