Rice baijiu
Rice baijiu is a type of alcohol that is made from a special kind of rice. You know how when we eat rice, we cook it in water? Well, to make rice baijiu, people first cook the rice in water, and then they add special yeast to it. This yeast helps to turn the rice into alcohol.
The rice and yeast mixture is then left to ferment for a while. Fermenting means that it gets left alone in a warm place for a little while so that the yeast can work its magic and turn the rice into alcohol.
Once it's done fermenting, the mixture is distilled. Distilling means that the alcohol is separated from the rest of the mixture by heating it up and collecting the steam that comes out. This steam is then cooled down into a liquid, which is the rice baijiu.
Rice baijiu is a very popular drink in China, where it's been made for thousands of years. Some people think it has a strong taste, while others really like it. It's usually drunk like a shot, or mixed with other drinks to make cocktails. But remember, you can't drink alcohol until you're a grown-up!
