做法
- 把麦芽粉放在碗中,倒入1.5升温(60°C)水。用力搅打2分钟。静置30分钟;浑浊的麦芽水是产生发酵的关键。
- 把麦芽水用细纱布或咖啡滤纸过滤到干净的电饭煲锅或重锅中。把麦芽残渣用力挤干。丢弃残渣,留浑浊过滤液。
- 把煮熟的米粒加入过滤后的麦芽水中。轻轻搅拌。盖好保持50到55°C恒温4小时——电饭煲'保温'设置完美。麦芽酶会把米淀粉分解成糖;你会看到米粒开始随着释放糖而漂浮。
- 4小时后,当10到15粒漂浮在表面时,发酵完成。把米粒滤出在冷水中冲洗;留作装饰。把液体煮沸5分钟——这停止酶作用。
- 加姜片、糖和剩余500毫升水。慢炖15分钟。试味;sikhye应微妙甜,有清晰姜香和淡淡发酵深度。如想要可加更多糖。
- 冷却到室温,然后冷藏至少4小时。在小玻璃碗中冰镇上桌。每份顶上撒几粒预留米粒、一片枣和一颗松子。

文化背景
Sikhye是韩式发酵食品最温和的表达——一种甜米饮,几个世纪以来都有。麦芽酶(淀粉酶)把淀粉分解成糖而不产生酒精,技术上是发酵但不致醉。它在重韩餐结束时冷上桌作为消化饮——尤其是农历新年tteokguk或秋夕宴会后。漂浮米粒是特征;米粒丰富表明sikhye新鲜。
