The sugarcane stalks are ground in order to obtain the juice which is boiled until it becomes a molasses. Then water and yeast are added to the molasses in order for it to ferment.

The alcohol which comes from the sugarcane is kept in barrels.
After seven years both the sugarcane and the coffee is taken to the distillery where the coffee gets turned into an extract.
