URBAN SHAMAN TIPS
Add more water as necessary and also adjust the doum amounts you are using as needed.
The desired color for concentration is rich amber. If the color of the liquid is too light, add a few pieces of doum fruit (2-3 shells or 1tsp powder) and simmer for an additional 5 minutes. If the color of the liquid is darker and similar to coffee adjust by adding small amounts of water.
If the final product is too concentrated, serve it diluted with water
Reserve and reboil the doum fruit at least once more for a second batch (should be done immediately and will be slightly lighter, recommended to use less water to yield stronger flavor)
