This classic Korean dish is usually drunk after heavy rich meals and in the summer and spring hot periods. It's also known to help with digestion and is a good palate cleanser.

Ingredients

450g malt
5 litres water
250g sweet rice or plain
1 tbsp sliced ginger
½ cinnamon stick
5 tbsp sugar
Roasted pine nuts, to serve

Preparation

Soak the malt in 3 litres of water for 3 hours.

Work the malt through the water and squeeze out the water over a muslin cloth or Chux. Repeat with another 2 litres of water.

Cook the rice and cool on a tray.

Once all the water is drained, set aside overnight to stand.

The next day, pour the water into a pot and discard the excess sediment on the bottom.

Add the rice to the stock and cook over very low heat (around 50°C) for about 8 hours in a rice cooker (warm setting is the best option).

When the rice has floated and is soft, drain the rice from the stock. Boil the stock with the ginger, cinnamon and sugar.

More sugar can be added if you like it sweet.

Cool and serve over ice with the cooked rice and roasted pine nuts.

Keeping champagne fizzy

If you want to keep champagne fizzy to drink the next day try placing a silver spoon in the neck of the bottle (handle pointing into the liquid). They have been doing this for decades in France and many swear by it!
