Three Snake Wine refers to soaking the meat or dried meat of three snakes, namely the Banded Krait, the Chinese Cobra, and the Rat Snake, in 50-60 degree white wine.

【Name】
Health-preserving Three Snake Wine
【Recipe】
Take one snake of each kind (about 1000-1500 grams), remove the internal organs, wash them with clean water, wipe them dry with a cloth, and then soak them in 7500-10000 milliliters of 50-60 degree white rice wine. Seal it for 2-3 months and it will be ready.
【Benefits】
Health-preserving Three Snake Wine has the effects of dispelling wind, promoting blood circulation, opening up meridians, and strengthening tendons and bones. It can treat diseases such as rheumatism, neuralgia, and hemiplegia.
【Precautions】
Homemade snake wine in general is transparent with a light yellow color. Sometimes there may be a slight sediment due to the substances released during soaking. The aroma of the wine has a slight fragrance and snake odor. The color, aroma, and taste of snake wine can be altered by adding appropriate amounts of Chinese herbal medicines.
Adding safflower or Cortex Acanthopanacis can make the wine look bright and beautiful. Adding some white sugar, rock sugar, or honey can make the snake wine sweet and pleasant.
It should be noted that, unlike other medicinal wines, in order to achieve the goal of preserving and maintaining quality, snake wine must be soaked in grain-based white wine with a high alcohol content, generally above 50 degrees.
After putting the snake and other herbal ingredients into the wine, it should be stirred or shaken regularly to ensure a more authentic taste of the snake wine.
