Instructions
- 1
Put the malt powder into 1.5 liters warm water at 40°C and rub it with your hands for 2 to 3 minutes so it releases the malt liquid.
3 min03:00 - 2
Let the mixture rest for 30 minutes so the starch settles to the bottom; carefully transfer the clear liquid on top to another container and discard the sediment.
30 min30:00 - 3
Combine the cooked rice with the malt liquid in a heatproof container, cover, and keep it in a 50 to 60°C environment for 4 to 8 hours, such as a rice cooker keep-warm mode or a thermos wrapped under a blanket.
4 hr240:00 - 4
When the rice grains begin to float to the surface, the enzymatic step is complete; transfer the mixture to a pot, add the sugar, boil for 10 to 15 minutes, and skim off the foam.
15 min15:00 - 5
Cool and store in the refrigerator, then garnish with pine nuts and serve cold.
💡 Tip: The enzymatic step takes 4 to 8 hours; a rice cooker keep-warm setting or a thick cloth under a blanket is the most practical setup. When the rice grains start floating to the surface, the enzyme work is complete.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve ice cold in bowls, sprinkled with pine nuts. It works well after long fast-like meals or as a traditional after-dinner drink.
