Sikhye (Korean식혜, also spelled shikhye or shikeh; also occasionally termed dansul or gamju) is a traditional sweet Korean rice beverage, usually served as a dessert. It is a popular beverage in South Korea, often found in the beverage sections of convenience stores. It is a drink made by fermenting rice with malt to give it a sweet taste.[1] In addition to its liquid ingredients, sikhye contains grains of cooked rice and in some cases pine nuts.[2] It is similar to the Chinese jiuniang and Japanese amazake.
