To prepare, simply empty one packet of the mix into a mug. Heat your preferred liquid, such as water or milk, until it is hot but not boiling. Pour the hot liquid over the powder in the mug. Stir thoroughly until the powder is completely dissolved and no clumps remain. For an even richer flavor, you can use milk instead of water.
