To use, simply tear open one packet and stir the contents into your beverage or food. The granular form allows for easy measurement. You can adjust the amount to your personal taste preference, as saccharin is very potent. It is best to start with a small amount and add more if needed to achieve the desired level of sweetness. It is suitable for hot or cold applications.
