Wine Tip
Gewürztraminer, 2010
This medium-sweet, late harvest wine entices with its fruity and fascinating bouquet. The mixture of rose petal and clove creates a particularly long-lasting aroma.
Step 1
Place the rice flour into a large bowl. First, whisk in the hot water. Then, add the cold water and mix well to combine. Using your hands, form dough into a ball. Cover and set aside.
