To prepare, combine the contents of the packet with the recommended amount of cold water or broth in a saucepan. Whisk thoroughly to ensure there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for a minute or two until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
