- Mix it well and cover the jar properly and then place it in a dark place.
- Shake the jar every 2-3 days.
- After one month of soaking add spice mix and brown sugar to the mixture. (This is a mandatory step)
- You can store this mixture in a dry place for more than a year.

Notes
This mixture can be stored for about a year and older the mixture tastier the cake! Try to make it at least before one month of preparing the cake for a richer taste....If you are as lethargic as me( not this year!) then can soak your fruits before one day at least.
