To prepare the gravy, you typically combine the powder with cold water in a saucepan. The amount of water will depend on the desired thickness and quantity. Whisk the mixture thoroughly to ensure no lumps form. Then, heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to your liking. It is important to keep stirring to prevent scorching on the bottom of the pan. Once thickened, it is ready to serve immediately.
