Wild sea buckthorn soaked in wine actually has great effects!

An ancient poem says: "Let's get drunk with the newly brewed sea buckthorn wine, and feel ashamed of eating fragrant rice for three years." The sea buckthorn wine described in the poem is mellow and delicious, making people salivate. It can be seen that from ancient times to the present, sea buckthorn wine has been a fine wine. Why do people like sea buckthorn so much? That's because it is rich in vitamin C, which can fight against active oxygen in the body and reduce skin sub-health problems such as dullness and yellowness. It also has the effect of improving skin tone, enhancing skin transparency and so on. Today, let’s talk about healthy eating and introduce to you how to make your own sea buckthorn wine.

1. Homemade Rosa roxburghii wine

Ingredients: 5 catties of fresh prickly pear, appropriate amount of rock sugar, 10 catties of high-proof sorghum wine

1. Method 1:

(1) Wash the fresh sea roxburghii and cut it in half. Use a wooden or bamboo stick to carefully remove the seeds from the sea roxburghii. Do not use a knife, otherwise the vitamin C in the sea roxburghii will easily react with metal, causing the sea roxburghii to turn black and lose nutrients.

(2) Steam the peeled prickly ash in a pot for half an hour, then take it out and place it in the sun until it is dry;

(3) Put the dried sea buckthorn into a clean and dry glass bottle, and fill the bottle two-thirds full at a ratio of 1 jin of dried sea buckthorn to 5 jin of wine and half a jin of rock sugar. It can be consumed after brewing for more than 20 days in summer.

2. Method 2

Seabuckthorn wine has many health benefits: first, it can prevent and fight cancer; second, it can reduce the three highs; third, it can enhance immunity; and fourth, it can effectively resist skin aging and whiten the skin... So, how to make homemade seabuckthorn wine at home?

(1) Tools/Raw Materials

Rosa roxburghii

Liquor

Honey (or rock sugar)

(2) Methods/Steps

Step 1: Pick the prickly pear

You must wait until the sea buckthorn is ripe before picking it, that is, when it looks golden yellow, it is ripe. The unripe ones are green in color and taste bitter, so they are not good for making wine.

Step 2: Cut the pear

This step also requires some skills. If you don't know how, you will remove the thorns of the sea buckthorn before cutting it. Even if you wear gloves, you may get your hands pricked by the thorns accidentally. It is also slow and tiring, and the thorns cannot be removed completely; the seeds inside cannot be removed cleanly after cutting. If you use my cutting method, you don't have to remove the thorns in advance, and then you can easily clean the thorns on the outside and the seeds inside.

Step 3: Steam the pear

There is no special skill required for this step, it is just like steaming rice at home, but it must be steamed thoroughly, so that the soaked rice will not only have a pure flavor but also a beautiful color.

Step 4: Sun-drying the pear

This is related to the second step. First, dry the sea buckthorn in the sun until it is watered. When the sea buckthorn has not regained moisture, put it in a good cloth bag, and then beat it with a stick. Don't worry, the sea buckthorn will not be broken. This way, the thorns and seeds inside the sea buckthorn can be easily removed.

Step 5: Soak sea buckthorn wine

Generally, half a pound of dried sea buckthorn is soaked in ten pounds of wine, and three to five ounces of honey (or rock sugar) are added to it. The kind of honey grown in the countryside is the best. It must be sealed well, and you can open the jar and drink the wine after a month.

Step 6: Taste the Rosa roxburghii wine

Don’t drink too much every time, because everyone knows that drinking too much is harmful to the body!

In addition, you need to be careful when choosing containers for wine. You must choose ceramic jars or glass bottles. Remember not to use PET plastic barrels. Wine is corrosive, especially strong liquor. If it comes into contact with plastic barrels for a long time, the liquor will corrode the plastic and easily blend into some components of the plastic barrel. For safety reasons, it is best not to use plastic barrels to store or soak wine.

Efficacy of this wine: Seabuckthorn wine can prevent and fight cancer, reduce the three highs (lower blood pressure, blood lipids, and blood sugar), enhance resistance, and whiten the skin. Drinking seabuckthorn wine or water regularly can avoid constipation, and it can play a good therapeutic role for stomach discomfort.

(III) Notes

Although sea buckthorn wine is delicious, don’t drink too much!

For those who don’t like drinking, you can also use dried sea buckthorn to make tea, just like making tea, and the effect is also very good!
