Maca wine-making can make the effective ingredients fully dissolve and improve the efficacy. At the same time, maca contains various beneficial components for the human body, such as protein, fat, vitamin B, etc., and has a high nourishing effect. After soaking in wine, it is suitable for use for weakness after illness, fatigue, reduced diet, etc. So how should Maca be soaked in wine?

Selection of raw materials for Maca wine

It is best to use liquor made from grains with an alcohol content of more than 50% (such as liquor made from corn and sorghum) to make maca.

Before drinking, you can add other medicinal materials such as rock sugar, jujube, wolfberry, etc. to adjust the taste and increase the efficacy. (It should be noted that maca is warm in nature, so when choosing other medicinal materials, you should consider the combination of medicinal properties.)
