To prepare the gravy, you will typically combine the dry mix with a specified amount of water in a saucepan. Whisk the mixture to ensure it is smooth and free of lumps. Then, heat the gravy over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to your desired consistency. It is important to bring it to a simmer and cook for a short period to activate the thickening agents and fully develop the flavor. Avoid boiling vigorously. Adjusting the amount of water can alter the thickness.
