   After a week, make syrup from sugar and water. Everything is done simply, to do this, mix sugar with water in a saucepan and bring to a boil, at the beginning of cooking, stir the mixture actively so that the sugar dissolves, as soon as the syrup boils, cook for another 5 minutes over low heat and leave to cool. Add the cooled syrup to the coffee mixture and leave to brew for another 1 week, shaking the resulting mixture daily.
