What are the methods and precautions for making Ganoderma wine?

In our current lives, many of our friends pay great attention to physical health. Some male friends like to make some Chinese herbal wine at home. Drinking it often has a certain effect on our physical health. Today I will introduce to you in detail some methods and precautions of using Ganoderma lucidum to make wine. Friends who like to drink it, come and learn about it!

Everyone knows that Ganoderma lucidum is a rare beauty product. "Compendium of Materia Medica" also recorded: "Ganoderma lucidum makes people have good complexion." So do you know how to use Ganoderma lucidum to achieve the effects of whitening, removing spots and beautifying the skin? Let’s learn together with the editor below!

Steps/Methods

1. Wash the stall, sterilize it by boiling water three times, and dry it.

2. Wash and chop the Ganoderma lucidum and put it into a sterilized and dried jar.

3. Add white wine into the jar, at least enough to cover the Ganoderma lucidum. After that, you can add more white wine according to your personal appetite.

4. Cover the lid and seal it with water (add water around the lid, about one-third) to prevent bacteria from entering.

5. After about a week, when the white wine turns into brown-red, it can be consumed once in the morning and once in the evening.

6. You can also add honey, rock sugar, etc. when drinking. The editor recommends adding honey because honey is rich in vitamin C, which is also a good product for whitening and removing freckles.

Selection and precautions for medicinal wine

1. Selection of medicinal wine

(1) It must be genuine 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. Many of them are brewed under the banner of pure grains but are actually blended with edible alcohol. The biggest difference between these 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. The ingredients added to edible alcohol blended wine are not good for 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 greatly discounted or even have a counterproductive effect. Therefore, when making medicinal wine, you must use wine brewed from pure grains. Good medicinal materials and good 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 to you a pure grain wine made from 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.

(3) It is not easy to choose plastic barrels for wine: There are many plastic barrels for wine on the market, especially for strong liquor, which are actually very bad. You must choose ceramic jars or glass bottles to store wine. Remember not to use PET plastic barrels. Wine is corrosive, especially strong liquor. If it is in 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 for wine soaking.

Through the detailed introduction above, I think everyone now has a very specific understanding of the method of soaking Ganoderma lucidum in wine. So in our daily life, in addition to understanding the method, we must also pay attention to these precautions when soaking wine, so that we can make medicinal wine that is healthier and better for the body.
