A method of producing a Herba Houttuyniae fermented drink by inoculating a mixture of Herba Houttuyniae extract and sugar with stains of Leuconostoc sp. and then culturing is provided. The fermented drink has a functionality of lactic acid fermentation as compared with conventional Herba Houttuyniae fermented drinks. An extract of Herba Houttuyniae(Houttuynia cordata Thunb.) is mixed with sugar, inoculated with stains of Leuconostoc sp. KACC 91156P and cultured at 30deg.C for 72hr while agitating at 2rpm. Then cultured liquid is precipitated, filtered, sterilized for 3sec by a hot temperature short time method and packaged. In the mixing process, 70L Herba Houttuyniae extract is mixed with 3kg sugar and then inoculated with 1L strains and then added with distilled water to give 100L final volumes. The Herba Houttuyniae extract is 2brix.
