• Start by pouring 5 liters of organic grape must into a large pot.
• A stainless steel cooking pot with a glass lid is ideal.

2- Heating:

• Maintain a gentle simmer for approximately 2 to 3 hours.
• Occasionally stir with a wooden spoon to evenly distribute heat.

4- Reduction:

• Monitor the liquid as it reduces to about 1 liter.
• Look for visual cues like a change from deep purple to a coppery color.

5- Cooling:

• Once desired consistency is reached, remove the pot from the heat source.
• Allow the arrope to cool completely right in the pot before proceeding.

6- Straining:

• After cooling, strain the arrope using a mesh strainer.
• Ensure a smooth syrup consistency by removing any impurities.

7- Storage:
