  1. 1Soak the malt barley in 4L of warm water until well-hydrated, then rub it with your hands and strain through a sieve to collect the clear malt water.
  2. 2Wash the sweet rice thoroughly and cook it with less water than usual to make firm, fluffy rice.
  3. 3Put the cooked rice and the strained malt water into a rice cooker and let it ferment on the 'keep warm' setting for about 5 to 6 hours.
  4. 4When 10 to 20 grains of rice float to the top, pour the fermented mixture into a large pot.
  5. 5Add the raw sugar, ginger, and cinnamon to the pot, bring to a rolling boil, and skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
  6. 6Once it has cooled completely, pour off only the clear liquid, leaving the sediment at the bottom, and store it in the refrigerator.

💡 Cooking Tips

If you leave the malt barley pouch in while boiling the sikhye, it might turn cloudy. If you want a clear color, it's best to remove the pouch before boiling.
