Why people make this wine
Nourilo had just finished a couple of bottles of homemade lychee wine and loved using a splash of it in cooking — but lychee season was over. Lucky for him, big plump shi xia longan were going cheap, so he made longan wine the same way. Most longan wines use the dried fruit soaked in rice spirit; using fresh longan with rock sugar gives something nourishing without being too heating. Longan pairs naturally with goji berries, a combination traditionally said to support the liver and kidneys, build essence and blood, and calm the spirit.
