broth / brew
Loading your saved state.
broth
A liquid in which foods such as meat, fish, or vegetables have been cooked, pickled, or left to steep, and which has taken on their flavor. It often serves as a base for sauces or soups.
Gießen Sie den Sud vom Gulasch durch ein Sieb, um eine feine Soße zu erhalten.
Pour the broth from the goulash through a sieve to get a smooth sauce.
brew
In brewing, the liquid that is produced during mashing and is then boiled with hops to obtain the wort for beer.
Der Braumeister prüft die Stammwürze des Suds, bevor die Gärung beginnt.
The brewmaster checks the original gravity of the brew before fermentation begins.
The noun 'der Sud' (broth/brew) is closely related to the old German verb 'sieden' (to boil vigorously or simmer). A 'Sud' is therefore the result of a cooking or steeping process.
Der Tee muss fünf Minuten im heißen Wasser sieden.
The tea has to steep in the hot water for five minutes.
If you read words like 'Brauerei' (brewery), 'Hopfen' (hops), 'Malz' (malt), or 'Bier' (beer) in connection with 'Sud' (brew), it always refers to the liquid used in brewing beer. In a normal cooking context, these terms are absent.
Nach dem Kochen wird der Sud abgekühlt und die Hefe zugegeben.
After boiling, the brew is cooled and the yeast is added.
In cooking, a 'Sud' (broth) is often 'angesetzt' (prepared). Food is left to 'ziehen' (steep) or 'kochen' (cook) in it. Afterward, the broth is often 'abgegossen' (poured off) or 'verwendet' (used) as a base for a sauce.
Für die Soße habe ich den Sud des Bratens verwendet.
I used the broth from the roast for the sauce.
brine / puddle
Both words can refer to a liquid associated with pickled or prepared foods. „Lake“ is a salty pickling liquid, while „Sud“ typically develops through boiling or steeping and takes on the flavor of the food. The key question is therefore whether the focus is on pickling in salt or on preparing the liquid.
Das Gemüse wurde in einem aromatischen Sud gekocht.
The vegetables were cooked in an aromatic broth.
Die Gurken bleiben mehrere Tage in der würzigen Lake.
The pickles remain in the spiced brine for several days.
