Next, let us find out what is the method of soaking red dates and wolfberries in wine?

Selection and precautions for medicinal wine

1. Selection of wine

(1) It must be pure grain wine. The selection of wine is the most critical step in making medicinal wine. As we all know, according to recent media reports, more than 70% of the liquor on the market is blended with edible alcohol + spices + saccharin + water, and the proportion of mid- and low-end liquor is more than 95%. Many of them are brewed with pure grains but are actually blended with edible alcohol. The biggest difference between the two types of wine is that pure grain brewed wine is brewed by natural fermentation and contains a variety of natural substances that are beneficial to the human body. These naturally formed substances will react with medicinal materials to produce magical health and medical effects. Edible alcohol blended wine has some additives that are not beneficial to the human body and will affect and destroy the efficacy of the medicinal materials. Therefore, it is very important to choose the wine to be soaked. If you accidentally choose alcohol blended wine as the wine to be soaked, even the best medicinal materials will be wasted or even have a counterproductive effect. Therefore, when making medicinal wine, you must use wine brewed from pure grains. Good medicinal materials and pure grain wine can achieve the maximum efficacy of the medicinal wine. This kind of pure grain wine without additives is not easy to find on the market. Here, the author recommends a pure grain wine called Gu Yangkang that I have been using. Only wine brewed from truly pure grains can achieve the maximum efficacy of medicinal wine.

(2) Alcohol content: It is best to use high-quality pure grain liquor with an alcohol content of 50-60% for preparing medicinal liquor. From the analysis of Chinese medicinal materials, whether Chinese herbal medicine or animal medicinal materials, they all contain water and more or less bacteria and germs. Only a slightly higher alcohol content can kill bacteria and germs. In addition, the seepage of water from medicinal materials will dilute the alcohol content, so it is appropriate to choose a liquor with a higher alcohol content. However, low alcohol content is not conducive to the dissolution of effective ingredients in Chinese medicinal materials, thus affecting the treatment and health care effects. Finally, from the perspective of shelf life, low-alcohol liquor, coupled with the dilution of medicinal materials, has too high a water content, which is not conducive to long-term preservation. In addition, as wine is stored over time, its alcohol content will decrease. Therefore, it is better to use 50-60 degree wine for soaking.

The method of soaking red dates and wolfberries in wine is relatively simple. Even if you don't know how to do it, you can still learn it. This way, you can not only taste the wine you make, but also make your spare time more fulfilling. This is exactly the lifestyle we need, so that we don't have to face the computer every day and let our physical fitness become worse and worse.
