Ingredients for making drunken dates from dried dates

When you want to make drunken dates with dried dates, you need to prepare 2 kilograms of dried dates, 1 kilogram of high-proof liquor, an appropriate amount of water, and a clean container.

Steps for making drunken dates from dried dates

1. Put the prepared dried dates in a pot and add water to cook. The dried dates must be carefully selected and must not be worm-eaten or damaged. When the pot boils, turn off the heat and take out the dates. Do not cook the dates thoroughly.

2. Take out the cooked dates and remove the moisture. Put an appropriate amount of pure water in the prepared white wine and mix well. Then put the dried dates after removing the moisture in the diluted white wine and put it into the prepared container.

3. After sealing the container, store it in a cool and ventilated place. After ten days, the dry dates inside will absorb a lot of water and become plump, and will also absorb some of the white wine and become rich in wine aroma. At this time, the homemade drunken dates are ready to be eaten.

Precautions for drunken dates

1. When making drunken dates, you must choose dry dates of good quality, and the liquor must be pure grain liquor with an alcohol content of more than 60 degrees. When diluting the liquor, you must use purified water instead of ordinary tap water, otherwise the drunken dates will easily deteriorate and change in taste.

2. After the drunken dates are made, they can be stored in white wine, but they must be eaten as soon as possible after opening, otherwise the alcohol contained in the drunken dates will evaporate, causing the drunken dates to rot and deteriorate quickly, making them inedible.
