Ingredients and traditional production
Enturire is made from sorghum, the primary ingredient, and honey, used to sweeten the drink.{{Cite web |date=2021-01-08 |title=Adrenaline rush and enturire at Lake Bunyonyi |url=https://www.monitor.co.ug/uganda/magazines/life/adrenaline-rush-and-enturire-at-lake-bunyonyi-1831978 |access-date=2024-02-27 |website=Monitor |language=en}}
Enturire is traditionally prepared by soaking sorghum in water for at least 24 hours and later mixed with ash and left for 3 days. It is thereafter dried to black sweet sorghum, then grinded to form flour. The flour is mixed with water to make bushera which is left to undergo fermentation for 3 days and later mixed with unfiltered honey which is mixed with omuramba and left to stay for 3–5 days before it's ready for human consumption.
Enturire after brewing can be consumed up to two months after making.
