Equipment
1 stove
Ingredients
- 12 ounces barley malt (also called malt powder)
- 1 gallon water
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 slices fresh peeled ginger
- Pine nuts, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a very large bowl, mix the malt with the water. Rub the malt with your hands until the liquid becomes cloudy. Strain the liquid through a sieve, and discard the solids.
- Let the liquid sit for about 2 hours so that the malt settles. You’ll be using the clearer liquid on the top.
- In an electric rice cooker, combine the rice with the clear malt liquid. Turn on the warm setting and let it sit until some rice begins to float, about 4 hours.
- Transfer the rice with the liquid to a stockpot and add the sugar and ginger. Bring to a boil over high heat and let cook for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- Serve cool or cold with a few pine nuts in each cup.

Notes
- Glutinous Sweet Rice: Ensure you use glutinous sweet rice, sometimes called sticky rice, for the authentic texture of Sweet Rice Punch. Rinse the rice thoroughly before soaking to remove excess starch.
- Proper Soaking: Soak the sweet rice for at least 4 hours or overnight. This step softens the rice, making it easier to blend into a smooth mixture.
- Slow Simmering: When cooking the rice mixture, maintain a low to medium-low heat to avoid burning or sticking. Stir consistently to achieve a velvety consistency.
