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 it is smooth, ensuring there are no lumps. Then, heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to your desired consistency. It is important to bring the gravy to a simmer and cook for a minute or two to ensure it is fully heated and the flavors have melded. Avoid boiling the gravy vigorously, as this can sometimes affect the texture.
