To prepare the brown gravy, simply combine the contents of the packet with water in a saucepan. Whisk the mixture until smooth to prevent lumps. Bring the gravy to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Continue to cook and stir until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency. For a richer flavor, some cooks may choose to use broth instead of water. It is best served hot, immediately after preparation, to enjoy its full flavor and texture.
