What each ingredient does
- Caramel-cereal
- Provides the roasted, caramel flavor that is extracted into the water.
- Hot water
- Acts as the solvent that draws flavor out of the cereal during steeping.
The step that matters
Steeping time. Longer steeping pulls more flavor and color from the cereal, making the drink stronger and possibly heavier or more bitter. Steeping 5 minutes or less gives a lighter, quicker drink, so the time you choose controls the strength.
