Mil Makgeolli

In a large bowl, combine 1000g wheat flour with 500g water. Mix well to form a firm dough.

Prepare a steamer. Place the wheat flour dough into a heatproof dish or wrap it in a clean cloth, then steam for 30 minutes until thoroughly cooked and gelatinized.

Remove the steamed wheat flour from the steamer and spread it out on a clean surface or tray to cool completely to room temperature. This is crucial to prevent killing the yeast.
