As an ancient health care method, soaking medicinal liquor is loved by more and more people. There is a lot of knowledge about wine making: what wine is used to make wine? How much is this wine? In what container? Pay attention to every step. If you don't master it well, it will not only fail to play its due role, but may also hurt your health.
Below, the author shares some experiences with you from the perspective of a wine-soaking enthusiast.
1. What white wine is good for Cistanche deserticola, Cynomorium songaricum and Lycium barbarum?
Recently, authoritative media have reported that 70% of liquor on the market is blended with edible alcohol, spices, sodium cyclamate and water (in line with national standards), and more than 95% of low-end liquor. Many pure grain liquors are blended with edible alcohol. The difference between edible alcoholic liquor and pure grain liquor is that pure grain liquor is naturally fermented and contains many natural substances beneficial to human body, which will be locked by cistanche deserticola. Therefore, the brewing wine of Cistanche deserticola and Cynomorium songaricum must choose pure grain wine without additives, which is difficult to find in the market. Here, I recommend a pure grain wine of Gu Yangkang to everyone, which is a real pure grain wine without additives and suitable for brewing wine of Cistanche deserticola and Cynomorium songaricum.
Second, Cistanche deserticola Cynomorium barbarum should not choose plastic barreled wine.
There are many PET plastic barrels on the market, which are cheap. This kind of PET plastic is very safe to hold water, but liquor is very corrosive, especially high-grade liquor, which will corrode plastic components into liquor. Therefore, for the sake of safety, we should choose glass bottles or ceramic bottles instead of plastic barrels.
Three, cistanche deserticola, Cynomorium songaricum, Lycium barbarum with how many degrees of liquor?
Slightly higher liquor is more likely to kill the bacteria and germs of cistanche deserticola and Lycium barbarum. The water oozing from cistanche deserticola and Lycium barbarum will also dilute the alcohol content. As the storage time goes on, the alcohol content will decrease, and the alcohol content will be too low, which will easily deteriorate after long-term storage. Therefore, it is best to soak Cistanche deserticola, Cynomorium songaricum and Lycium barbarum at 60 degrees.
4. What container is better for Cistanche deserticola, Cynomorium songaricum and Lycium barbarum to soak in wine?
Cistanche deserticola and Lycium barbarum should be brewed in pottery pots or glassware, and pottery pots are the best. In ancient times, pottery was used to boil traditional Chinese medicine and store liquor. Pottery can accelerate the aging of wine and make the quality of wine better, so pottery is more suitable for holding wine than glass. It is forbidden to soak medicinal liquor in plastic and metal containers, and harmful substances will escape from plastic and metal containers. Glass and ceramics will not produce the above situation, which is another reason why I recommend Guyang Kangchun grain wine to you. Guyang Kangchun grain wine is made of clay pots with a big bottle mouth. If the soaking amount is not large, cistanche deserticola and Lycium barbarum can be added directly into the pottery pot, and there is no need to buy a soaking pot. If the soaking amount is large, you can go to the market to buy a bigger soaking vessel.
