🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: molasses

Honey adds natural sweetness and flavor, while molasses is a cost-effective sweetener.

Add sorghum and water to a large pot, ensuring the water fully covers the sorghum.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring continuously.

Boil for 30 minutes until the mixture thickens to a porridge-like consistency.

Strain the mixture using a fine tea cloth, pouring the boiled sorghum into another container to separate the liquid from the solids.

Allow the collected liquid to cool to a warm temperature.

Gradually sprinkle pinate flour into the cooled liquid while stirring gently to ensure an even mixture.

Cover the container with a clean cloth and place it in a warm dark spot for a few days to ferment.

After fermentation, strain the mixture again for clarity.
