Rice beer is a type of fermented beverage made from rice. To make rice beer, you will need:
Ingredients:
- 4 cups of uncooked white rice
- 4 cups of water
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1/4 tsp of active dry yeast or Ranu Balls [ Buy Now ]
- 1/4 cup of lukewarm water
Instructions:
- Rinse the rice and add it to a pot with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed, about 20-25 minutes.
- Allow the rice to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a large glass jar or ceramic crock.
- In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in 1/4 cup of lukewarm water. Sprinkle the Ranu Balls [ Buy Now ] over the top of the sugar water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast is activated and begins to foam.
- Pour the yeast mixture into the jar with the rice and stir well to combine. Cover the jar with a clean cloth and secure it with a rubber band.
- Place the jar in a warm, dark location and let it ferment for 3-5 days. The fermentation process will create CO2, so be sure to release the pressure by opening the jar once a day to prevent it from exploding.
- After 3-5 days, the rice beer is ready to be served. You can strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove any solids, then transfer it to a pitcher or bottles.
- Serve the rice beer chilled or over ice. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
