I checked on it again recently and what difference a few days made. It's starting to smell like wine, I think. Thanks so much for your recipe and input.

Btw, I do enjoy reading your blog. It's quite insightful. :-)

One of my jars broke after 4 days so I think the fermentation did start. I didn't open it to check on the smell though so I don't know when the fermentation actually started. Good luck.

I'm using 2L bottles, and using your recipe, I managed to fill two bottles though they are only more than half full. Afer a week or so, I checked on it, and it doesn't smell like fermentation has started. But I guess I need to be more patient? :-P

Good luck

I came across your blog while searching for info on M'sian birth certs. Using your recipe, I tried making red wine for my own confinement. I noticed that you recipe mentioned 5 wine biscuits, but in your picture, I see 10 pieces of biscuits. May I ask which is the correct amount? Thanks!

Roni,

Where did you get the fenugreek seeds and how do you cook it?

Dried dates with rock sugar is also good to drink during pregnancy. My mom made me drink it at least twice a week (it shd be everyday but I didn't like the taste). Also, if you can get young coconut juice to drink during your last 2 - 3 months, it helps with the labor!
To ensure you have a lot of milk later for your baby, drink Mama's milk (milk for pregnant women). In Malaysia I drank Enfamama everyday.

Just in case you need to make more milk after baby comes, stock up on fenugreek seeds! I found these seeds more effective than the green papaya & kampung chicken soup as the effect for the soup only lasted 2 days then I had to remake the soup! With the seeds, after 12 hours I woke up with my shirt all wet with milk!!!!! (baby boys drink a lot more than baby girls, fyi)

I translated it from Chinese, don't know how it is called in English. It is one kind of yeast to make alcohol. This wine usually serve to cook confinement food. I don't know whether it is for the wind or not. I heard about dried dates tea but not share about longan.

So what is wine biscuits? Never seen this before. What is this wine for? Is it for the wind? My friend recommended me to drink dried dates with dried longan with rock sugar during my confinement. It supposed to recharge you.
