Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • The leftover solids after squeezing out the malt water are completely drained of sweetness, so discard them without hesitation.
  • If you want the rich sweetness that coats your mouth like commercial danhobak sikhye, you need to add much more sugar (about twice as much) than you might think.
  • Drink the finished sikhye with thin ice crystals floating by slightly freezing it in the freezer for a more refreshing and cool experience.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to experience a deeply flavorful traditional beverage made by hand at home.
  • Those looking for a traditional dessert that combines the healthy and soft sweetness of kabocha squash.
  • Those preparing a refreshing wellness drink to share with family during holidays or special occasions.
