Measure out exactly half a liter of warm water and pour into a deep container, add sugar and yeast there, stir. Leaving this mixture for twenty minutes in a warm place, you can observe the gradual activation of yeast. Bubbles will appear on the surface of the water, which are then converted into foam.
