Now pour the entire beer in a saucepan of medium size. Keep boiling the beer until it reduces to 1/3 quantity. But take care not to let the beer spill from saucepan while boiling. Let the reduced beer cool down properly. Pour the beer in a bottle of shampoo. Shake well so that the beer mixes with the shampoo completely.
