Hi, Aeri. Just to ask what type of short grain rice to use to cook? Is’t calrose rice (sushi rice) or glutanios rice (sticky rice)?
I’m confused already. Please advise me! I hav prepared the malted water overnight which followed your recipe!!! Now is the time to cook the rice!!!
Thanks! I love sikhye very very much and it is more delicious than our chinese barley drink!
Thanks for posting this marvelous recipe on YouTube!

I made Shikhye according to your recipe last weekend. It tastes wonderful 😀 A lot of work tho 😯 Yesterday it stared to get a bit sour, but still drinkable. So I’d say it lasts 4-5 days in the fridge.

hi anna,
First my question is if you followed the same steps my recipe said.. 🙂 What I can guess your problem is… maybe you over cooked in your rice cooker.. you said lots of rice pieces were floated in your rice cooker. usually when around 20 pieces of rice float.. it is done for rice cooker. You save some of the rice from rice cooker (after keep them in warm for sometime..) in the refrigerator..and rest of the rice .. you boil on the stove with the liquid.. so I wonder if you didn’t save some of your rice separately.. because the rice you use for decoration (floating) shouldn’t be boiled or over cooked.. then it will not float. Hope this help.

Hi aeri! Thanks so much for this recipe! I have a question. The rice pieces were floating in the rice cooker fine. Lots of them actually! But after i strained and boiled the liquid, now i cant get any rice pieces to float! Do you know what i did wrong? Even the rice i took out and saved after the rice cooker step won’t float. Help please! Thank you! Your website and recipes are wonderful and a real life saver!

Love this drink. I tried this at korean tea house in insadong on my trip to korea last year. Very delicious. Too bad I can’t find the malt barley powder in my country 🙁

hi LauraFang,
Sorry, I never drank makguli before (I don’t drink alchohol)..and don’t know how to make it either.. but I remember a good Korean cooking blogger (maangchi) made her own makgulli sometime ago.. I can add a link for you. maybe you can ask her how to make it. You might already know her though..hehe anyway..

If you have other request..please ask me…if I can make it, I will make it for you. thanks 😉

Hi Aeri,
Could you teach us how to make a alcohol beverage called Mak Gu Li? (Rice wine)I tried this beverage several times in Korean restaurant and it tasted really good (especially with fresh fruit flavour ). I have bought a bottle of this wine in liquor store, however it was not thick as I tasted in restaurant. I also know there is kit for making this rice wine and I can buy it from H-mart. It will be great if you can teach step by step

hi Xueli,
it’s same thing.. they just added ginger in it.. since I don’t like ginger flavor much to my rice drink..I didn’t add..but that’s pretty common in korea.. hehe
