The instructions say to first combine ingredients. To do this, we must first find the connection for
each set of four ingredients and connect all the edges into tetrahedra. The connected ingredients are
shown in groups below (as unfolded polygon nets):

For the first tetrahedron, the triangles are connected by antonyms. For the second, they’re connected
by synonyms. The third is connected by changing the first letter only. The fourth is connected by
changing the double letters in the word. The final tetrahedron is connected inverting the last three
letters of one word to be the first three of the other.
We can now take the tetrahedra and roll them along the board given on the first page, having the
middle words match using the tetrahedron’s rule. The corresponding words are shown in the board
below.

Taking the single letters in order starting with tetrahedron 1 (FREEZE, DULL, FAMOUS, WIDE), and
doing the same for tetrahedra 2-5, yields the messasge UNUSEDTRIANGLES.
There are six triangles unused in the board above. They can be connected using the same five patterns
as before (following the order of the tetrahedra), starting with antonym, synonym, etc. This gives us
CEMENT - SOFTEN - BUFFER - SUFFER - SUMMER - REMOVE
Putting this in a block yields:

Looking down the diagonal gives our answer: COFFEE
