To prepare the gravy, you will typically combine the contents of the packet with a specified amount of cold water in a saucepan. Whisk the mixture thoroughly to ensure there are no lumps. Then, heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it comes to a simmer and thickens to your desired consistency. Avoid boiling vigorously, as this can affect the texture. The gravy is ready to serve once it has reached the right thickness and is heated through.
