To prepare the gravy, simply combine the dry mix with the recommended amount of cold water or broth in a saucepan. Whisk thoroughly to ensure there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for a few minutes until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. Continue stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of milk or cream towards the end of the cooking process.
