Mijiu is a type of alcohol that people in China like to drink. It is made from a special type of rice that has been fermented, which means that it has been left to sit for a while so that tiny living things called yeast can make it turn into alcohol.
Once the rice has been fermented, it is cooked and mixed with water so that the alcohol can be collected. The alcohol is usually pretty strong, which means that grown-ups can feel funny if they drink too much of it.
Sometimes, people in China like to drink mijiu during special occasions or when they are celebrating. It can be served cold or warm, and it usually has a light, sweet taste. So, just like how you might have juice or soda at a party, grown-ups in China might have mijiu!
