  1. Lets’ start with making brown syrup for the drink. There is no sense to use any food dyes. Instead, take a pot, pour 1 tablespoon of water and add 5 tablespoons of sugar into it. Place the pot on small fire and keep stirring it for about 5 minutes to get the light brown syrup.

  4. Finally, the syrup will become light brown, but make sure it is not too dark! As soon as the syrup becomes brown, carefully add 1 glass of hot water and boil the syrup on strong fire for 20-30 seconds. Turn the fire off.
