When it comes out of the pot, add a small amount of sugar, boil it into a bowl of water, and drink the soup and eat the eggs.

The rice wine made in this way is warm, has a low alcohol content, and tastes good, making it very suitable for new mothers.

Second, rice wine chicken

Rice wine can also be used to cook chicken, and is usually used to make chicken soup. This soup will have a bit of alcohol taste, so new mothers should not drink too much.

We usually don't consume these rice wines directly. We drink them after they have been heated and processed, and only once a day, with a relatively small amount each time.
