Directions

  1. Make sure the water is lukewarm: it should be just warm, as too hot will kill the yeast, and too cold will prevent it from working properly.
  2. Pour the beer and the diluted yeast mixture with a small amount of sugar. ≈ 3 min
  3. Caramelize half a cup of sugar to achieve the desired color (or substitute it with a small amount of instant coffee), then add it to the remaining sugar.
  4. Mix well and pour into bottles or jars, but do not fill them completely, as the mixture will foam up. ≈ 4 min
  5. Cover and let it rest for 3 to 4 hours, then refrigerate.
