【Name】
Health Three Snake Wine
【Method】
Take one of each of the three snakes (about 1000-1500 grams), remove the internal organs, wash them with clean water, wipe them dry with a cloth, then soak them in 7500-10000 milliliters of 50-60 degree white rice wine, seal them for 2-3 months, and it will be ready.
【Efficacy】
Health Three Snake Wine has the effects of dispelling wind, promoting blood circulation, regulating meridians, and strengthening tendons and bones. It can treat rheumatism, neuralgia, hemiplegia, and other diseases.
【Precautions】
In general, homemade snake wine is transparent with a light yellow color. Due to the precipitation of the extract during soaking, there may be a slight sediment and a slightly fragrant and snakey smell. The color, fragrance, and taste of snake wine can also be changed by adding an appropriate amount of Chinese herbal medicine.
Adding saffron, schisandra peel and other Chinese herbal medicines can make the wine colorful and beautiful; adding some white sugar, rock sugar, or honey can make the snake wine sweet and pleasant.
It should be pointed out that unlike other medicinal wines, in order to achieve the purpose of preservation, high-alcohol grain white wine must be used to soak the snake wine, generally at a temperature above 50 degrees.
After putting the snake and other medicinal materials into the wine, it should be stirred or shaken regularly, so that the taste of the soaked snake wine is more pure.
