After coming at world’s top for its successful hydrogen bomb test, now we can learn to love North Korea also for its announcement to have invented a revolutionary liquor that won’t leave you bleary-eyed and day-after hangover. And no, apparently it’s not water
According to state-run newspaper Pyongyang Times, this awesome liquor is made from an extract of ginseng, and uses glutinous rice instead of sugar.
This secret blend of six-year-old ginseng and glutinous rice, produced by Taedonggang Foodstuff Factory researchers, is what makes the alcohol hangover-free, the article reported.
“Koryo Liquor, which is made from six-year aged “Kaesong Koryo Insam” (traditional Ginseng wine), known as being highest in medicinal effect, and the glutinous rice, is highly appreciated by experts and lovers as it is suave and causes no hangover,” Jong Hwa Sun wrote.
“Koryo Liquor” has been such a success, it has been registered as a “national scientific and technological hit” across the communist country, coming first in the food sector festival, the newspaper reported.
But the amber-colored liquor pales in comparison to a previous invention. Last year, North Korean scientists released a multi-vaccine called “Kumdang-2” that could reportedly heal HIV/AIDS, drug addiction, cancer, MERS and Ebola.
