OKRA LIQUOR AND BREWING PROCESS THEREOF

Abstract

The present disclosure discloses an okra liquor, which uses okra seeds as a raw material, and also comprises sorghum, corn, glutinous rice, and Job's tears. By employing a new brewing process, the unique ingredients of the okra seeds are dissolved into liquor, making the liquor more nutritious and improving the previous process of making the okra liquor, directly using the okra seeds into liquor is cleaner and healthier than using okra, the nutritional ingredients of the okra seeds are fully used in the brewing process, and reasonable utilization of the okra seeds makes it easier for the human body to absorb the nutritional components of the okra seeds.
