Mix the yeast with the lime solution, using the same amount of liquid as in the standard wine-making method. Once complete, seal the mixture for 4–7 days before opening and taking it; ensure the wine’s aroma permeates the mixture throughout. There are no dietary restrictions, but one must avoid exposure to drafts.Rice washing water and rice bran must not be consumed by humans, livestock, dogs, or rats; bury them deeply. This wine should be prepared in the ninth month and set aside by the second month to avoid heat. For those with heat above the diaphragm, after taking the medicine, consume 3–5 mouthfuls of cold rice to settle it. When using pine resin powder to ferment the wine, spread it evenly over the rice while mixing; wait until the rice has cooled before adding it. The rice for this wine should be cold; otherwise, it will turn to vinegar.
