What each ingredient does

Cereal coffee
Provides the roasted, coffee-like flavour and colour that the whole drink is built on.

The step that matters

Boil for 20 minutes. Extended boiling extracts more bitter compounds and concentrates the liquid, so the timing should be kept to the stated 20 minutes.
