Christmas closing in, but no grapes? Know how to make wine at home; only seven ingredients needed

Everyone is busy preparing for Christmas. What is Christmas without cake and wine? Most of us buy wine from the store. However, store-bought wine does not necessarily have the taste we wish. It is better to make Christmas wine at home. Let's see how to make nutmeg wine at home very easily.

Ingredients

Nutmeg rind cut into pieces - one kilogram

Sugar - 1.25-1.5 kilograms

Cinnamon - one stick

Cloves - five

Yeast- 1/4 teaspoon

Rice or wheat - 100 grams

Boiled water - three litres

Preparation

1. Prepare the base: Chop the nutmeg rind into small pieces. In a large stainless steel pot, combine the chopped nutmeg, sugar, and water. Heat the mixture until it boils, then remove from heat and let it cool down.
2. Add flavor and yeast: Once the mixture is warm but not hot, add the cinnamon stick, cloves, and wheat. Stir in the yeast. Make sure all ingredients are well combined.
3. Ferment: Transfer the mixture to a clean glass vessel. Cover the opening with a clean cloth or a lid that is not airtight. Stir the mixture for 5 minutes every other day for 20 days. Use only a wooden spoon.
4. Strain and bottle: After 20 days, strain the mixture through a cheesecloth or muslin cloth into a clean, dry bottle.
5. Age: Seal the bottle and store it in a cool, dark place for at least another 20 days to mature.
