[Wine Recipe] - Roselle Wine Recipe 24_11_2012

By
I was thinking to do something different for this blog during the weekend, and something pops up in my mind which is to post the wine recipe. There are so many wine recipe around that it will be too difficult to keep track and at the same time, I would love to blog about it, so that I can use the wine recipe that can provide me with the taste of the wine that I wanted in the future. Well, I can just treat it like another type of log book for this "experiment".

Anyway, to make wine for home usage, it is not that tedious, just that you will need to have the correct recipe with the correct material, then voila, you can start making your own wine. Of course, for high volume production, it will be another story as it will involves a lot of machines and stuff like that.

Roselle wine




So, here goes the recipe and the way to make the roselle wine that my mum tried yesterday.

Ingredients:-
  • 1.8 kg roselle 
  • 800 g raisins
  • 5 liter water
  • 10 pieces of yeast biscuit
  • 650 g rock sugar


Steps:
1. First, wash the roselle (can just rinse the roselle with water) to remove some dirt which might still stick to the plant.

The roselle were put inside a pail and then rinse with water.

2. Next, separate the roselle seed from the calyces. Only the calyces needed for the wine making process while the seed is not required.

3. Then, pour the water that was prepared earlier into the pot and then mixed it with the calyces and then you can fire up the stove and start boiling the mixture of water and roselle calyces.

The Wondrous of Jalan Yau Tet Shin

Jalan Yau Tet Shin It must be a surprise that I am blogging about a street in Ipoh, but this street is hard to be missed especially to those who stopped by Ipoh. Reason being, the Jalan Yau Tet Shin is famous for its mouthwatering hawker food and it is a must stop by area when someone passes the quiet town of Ipoh. In fact, one can easily see a lot of local tour buses stopping by for the people to dine and pack some of the local favourites confectioneries back home.
