organized a dinner party last month and invited more than a dozen fans to eat together.
One of the lovely girls brought a heavy welcome gift-a can of home-brewed green plum wine.
said it was brewed according to my recipe, so it was considered as a job.
She also carefully warned that it was newly brewed on April 29 this year, so it would take some time.
couldn't hold it back today, secretly opened it, and found that the wine was already quite beautiful. Deep amber color, clear without any turbidity, and the plums are naturally wrinkled.
The sweetness and sourness are just right, the plum aroma is very clear, and it tastes so good that even experienced drinkers can’t fault it.
took a few sips and quickly sealed the lid. After all, these kind of thoughts should be carefully treasured.
I cannot share the wine made by the girl with everyone, but I have prepared a special summer limited surprise for everyone to share -
Home-brewed jasmine green grape wine + rose peach wine
Sunshine green grape and peach, They are all summer styles that cannot wait for us.
It is round and full, watery, sweet, and has its own unique fragrance. It is perfect for making fruit wine.
But after drinking too much basic fruit wine, I always want to try an advanced one.
So this time when making wine, I also added the secret weapon to enhance the aroma - flowers.
Jasmine is fresh and elegant, paired with green grapes; rose is warm and sweet, paired with peach, it is a dreamy combination~
After brewing green grape wine/peach wine, take a glass, fill it with ice cubes, and pour it down.
The coolness is carried by the fragrance of flowers and fruits, blowing on your face, and the air is full of drunken sweetness.
On days with temperatures approaching 40°C, such a small sweet wine is undoubtedly a better placebo than milk tea.
The method is still very basic. When broken down, it is fruit + petals + wine + sugar mixed and soaked.
After many debuggings, I came up with the best ratio of ingredients as follows. You can just copy the homework
100g petals, 750g fruit, 1L wine, 250g sugar
Now that the most important ratio is clear, you can complete it step by step.
First of all, fruits and petals should be washed with cool boiled and thoroughly air-dried , otherwise they will easily deteriorate.
It would be better if there were high-quality freeze-dried flowers, which would save the steps of cleaning and air-drying, making it more friendly to novices.
The base wine is the highlight and determines the tone of the finished product.
Remember to choose a light-flavored wine, which is clear and light, so that it can support the sweetness of flowers and fruits.
What I used here is Gu Yangkang, which is easy to buy on Taobao~
In addition, the degree of the base wine is preferably around 40 degrees.
Firstly, the flavor and aroma of flowers and fruits can be fully extracted;
Secondly, high-strength liquor has a preservation effect, and there is no risk of fruit and petals rotting.
If you really can’t tolerate high-alcohol wine, you can also use Jiujiang Double Steaming with a concentration of 29.5%.
The palatability will be improved, but the extracted flavor will be weaker and the shelf life will be halved accordingly.
This time’s flower and fruit wine is slightly different from the previous green plum wine. The fruits have been cut in advance and should not be soaked for a long time.
Therefore, after soaking for 25-30 days, you have to filter out the pulp and petals, refrigerate the wine, and drink it within 2 months~
PS: If the liquor used has a low alcohol content, it is best to drink it within 1 month after filtering. It’s over.
Spring pear , summer lotus, autumn osmanthus, winter plum blossom...
You can follow this recipe and mix it with seasonal fruits to make wine, and you can set up a four-season bistro at home

Previously recorded states of green plum wine in different periods
About a month later, the wine was still clear, but it had been stained with translucent cyan and intoxicating crimson.
You can drink it now. The spiciness of the liquor has become softer, and every drop is tainted with the fragrance of flowers and fruits.
Jasmine green wine is light and melodious, rose peach wine is soft and sweet, and the subtle fruit acid ripples in the mouth, stimulating the mouth and tongue.
It was as if a clear rain fell in my hot body.
However, the alcohol content of this wine is on the high side, so it’s not a good idea to drink too much.
You can use it as a base wine, add ice cubes, sparkling water or cold brew tea to dilute it and drink it. You can also cut some fresh fruit into it.
It not only enriches the taste, but also reduces the alcohol intake. It is suitable for those who are not good at drinking.
Only those who have tried it will understand the joy of wine making.
Every step cannot be rushed or rushed. Every layer requires careful observation and full devotion.
In an era where everyone wants to watch movies at twice the speed, these moments when fast forwarding is impossible are extremely precious.
Just like the sentence in " The Little Prince ": The time you spend on your roses makes your roses so important.
Thanks again to the friend who gave me green plum wine~
