Sikhye
Sikhye is a traditional Korean sweet rice drink made from fermented glutinous rice. It has a slightly sweet flavor and is often served chilled. The drink is typically enjoyed as a dessert or a refreshing beverage, especially during hot weather.
The main ingredients of Sikhye include cooked rice, malt powder, and sugar. The fermentation process allows the enzymes in the malt to convert starches into sugars, resulting in its characteristic sweetness. Sikhye is often garnished with pine nuts or jujubes, adding texture and flavor to the drink.
