जौ मावनाय (Jwo maonai)

Rice beer (Jwo or Jumai) is produced by Bodos occasionally or during festivals like Bwisagu and Domasi. There are two types of  Rice Beer: "Gishi" and "Gwran." Gishi is prepared by fermentation of rice, and Gwran is produced by distillation of Gishi. The essential ingredient for preparing Rice Beer are Rice and Amao. Amao is prepared from rice powder, Lwkhwna bijwo (leaves of a kind of wild plant), some leaves of jack fruit, Tampwi khoro (a kind of wild plant), and leaves of pineapple. All these things are mixed and ground together. Rice will cook first, and a small quantity of dried Amao is added to this and kept in the pot or buckets for some days. Several days later, it will be fermented and produce rice beer. It is distilled after extracting the juice to make Jwo "Gwran." This process involves simple evaporation, condensation, and distillation.
