How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused portions in a cool, dry place. Ensure the container is sealed tightly to prevent moisture from clumping the powder. This will help maintain its freshness and prevent it from absorbing odors from the surrounding environment. Proper storage ensures the best flavor and texture for future use.
