Bob Flaws has done it again with his book entitled: " Chinese Medicinal Wines

Another good book is " Chinese Herbal Medicine " By Daniel Reid including

Yang Shen's prescription for Tonic " Spring Wine " made with:

lu rong (Cervus Nippon) 150g, lu jiao jiao (Cervus Nippon glue) 150g, e jioao

*Equus Asinus glue) 150g, dang gui (Angelica Sinensis) 60g, shu di huang

(Rhemannia Glutinosa) 150g, huang qi (Astragalus Membranaceus) 80g, ginseng

(Panax Ginseng best quality) 20g, fu pen zi (Rubus Coreanus) 20g, gou qi zi

(Lycium Chinese) 60g, ze he che (Dried Human Placenta) 60g, nu zhen zi

(Ligustrum Japonicum seeds) 60g, sou yang (Cynomorium SOngaricum) 60g, ge jie

(Gekko gecko) 1¡â & 1¡á hai ma (Hippocamus Kelloggi sea-horse) 60g

Preparation: Steep then ingredients in large ceramic vessel with 6 liters of

strong liquor, such as brandy, CHinese gao liang, vodka, etc. for 6 months or

more. The vessel should be well sealed. After 6 months or so, pour off half

the brew, and strain well through cheesecloth or filter paper. Refill the

vessel with three fresh bottles of liquor, reseal, and steep for another 6

months or so. Use the entire batch the second time. The Spring Wine may be

flavored to taste with honey or sugar candy. To make a pleasing liqueur, add

chopped chunks of rock crystal sugar to the strained liquor.

 

Good health & Long life,

Steve
