To prepare the gravy, you typically combine the contents of the packet with a specified amount of cold water in a saucepan. Whisk the mixture until smooth to prevent lumps. Then, heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to your desired consistency. Avoid boiling vigorously, as this can affect the texture. The gravy is ready to serve once it has reached a smooth, pourable thickness.
