Sweet scented osmanthus wine: home brewed mid autumn wine

Introduction:

"My first acquaintance with osmanthus wine comes from LOHAS. The home-made rice wine is added with osmanthus, wolfberry and longan, waiting for a month. Brewed out of the wine, amber color, instantly moved my heart. There is rice wine from Fenghuang Mountain at home. Looking for a sunny Sunday, we slowly brew sweet scented osmanthus wine with expectation. It's better to use Osmanthus fragrans, wolfberry and longan to make wine, so as to blend the fragrance of flowers and wine. The sweet scented osmanthus wine brewed from superior rice wine has several small sweet scented osmanthus floating in the amber liquor. The wine is mellow, thick, slightly sweet and slightly elegant. The opened osmanthus wine is just in time for the festival. On the night of the Mid Autumn Festival, looking up at the mid autumn osmanthus, smelling the fragrance of osmanthus, drinking a cup of osmanthus honey wine with your family is one of the joys of life. Su Dongpo once brewed osmanthus wine by himself. In his ode to osmanthus wine, he wrote: "I was given the recipe of osmanthus wine to make osmanthus wine with jade color and transcendent fragrance, which is not a human thing."
