Wipe down the area with a clean paper towel soaked in a mixture of warm water and a mild soap. Then, rinse the area with warm water until all the soap is gone.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This is the simplest choice and cuts out the calories found in many mixers. Because this option requires absolutely no other ingredients, you won't need to worry about having a stocked refrigerator or pantryjust pour and enjoy! There are a couple of common ways to enjoy vodka straight. You can drink it very quickly, as a shot. Or, you can put it over ice and sip it (this is called "on the rocks"). For even fewer calories, consider brands that market a lower calorie vodka. Skinny Girl Cocktails makes a few different reduced-calorie vodkas. A 112floz (44mL) serving has 75.6 calories, compared to typical vodkas which have 96 calories per 112floz (44mL) serving on average. This can definitely add up! Do note that most reduced-calorie liquors achieve lower calories by reducing the proof. So, you would need to drink more to achieve the same effects as regular liquors. But, depending on the reason for your alcohol consumption, this may not matter to you. Flavor-infused vodkas are flavored vodkas without any extra calories. Many brands of vodka sell infused varieties, including Absolut, Belvedere, Burnett's, and Gray Goose, and it's been a trend for years in the vodka world to come out with different flavors of infused vodkas. Infused vodkas can make for a more flavorful and interesting experience when drinking vodka straight and can also eliminate the need for various traditional higher-calorie mixers like juice. Many of the infused vodkas sold in stores are infused with things you might expect, like lemon or berries or cucumber. But there are also exotic infusions like horseradish, bacon, and smoked salmon. It's also very easy to make your own infused vodka! You can use most types of fresh fruits and vegetables. Some people even infuse their vodka with coffee beans or candy, like toffee. Simply place your flavor in a canning jar and pour vodka inside. Wait a few days and then strain the liquid out and voila: flavored vodka! You can make your own delicious watermelon-infused vodka. Fresh watermelon or watermelon-flavored candy will do the trick. Diet Coke and other diet sodas are popular mixers that add zero calories to vodka. Other common options are plain water, soda water, light cranberry juice, diet iced tea, diet lemonade, and lime juice. Because the calories in vodka tend to be pretty standard across the board (unless you opt for reduced-calorie vodka) the only way to have a cocktail without a lot of calories is to be mindful of what you mix in with your alcohol. Sugar is the main culprit for calories in mixed drinks. This is why so many of the options for low-calorie mixers are low in sugar or have switched out the sugar with a sugar substitute like Stevia or Sweet'n Low. There's even sugar-free Triple Sec. If you're using mixers that do have a fair bit of calories, simply use less. It may end up tasting different that you're used to, but it can still be delicious. However, using a small amount of a caloric mixture doesn't have to affect the taste. In fact, a traditional vodka martini uses dry vermouth but uses so little that it doesn't make the drink very high in calories.
Summary: Drink straight vodka. Try flavor-infused vodkas. Combine vodka with low-calorie mixers.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: For the natto, you'll need 4 cups (800 g) of soybeans. Place the beans in a colander or strainer, and rinse them thoroughly under cold water in the sink. Shake the beans well afterward to remove the excess moisture. As you rinse the soybeans, remove any shrunken or discolored beans. After you've rinsed the soybeans, place them in a large pot. Cover the beans with 12 cups (2.8 l) of cold water to create a ratio of 3 parts water to 1 part beans so the beans have room to expand. Allow the beans to soak for 9 to 12 hours. During colder months, you may need to soak the beans longer, so it may take as many as 15 to 20 hours. When the beans have finished soaking, dump them into a colander or strainer. Shake well to remove all of the excess moisture.

SUMMARY:
