How To Make Rice Wine or Tapey

Balatinaw Rice

I wrote this topic in my blog for the request of my beloved uncle Oscar. A request to research the procedure of home made rice wine. Uncle Oscar lives in the U.S. for a long long time and is far faraway from the land of rice wine. He missed the taste of "tapey" so he wanted to make a tapey to satisfy his cravings. There's no taste like the old way of making the tapuy compared to the rice wine that you buy in the groceries nowadays that's why i made this for you uncle Oscar so you can make your own tapey even far from cordilleria.
