Whisked & simmered
Sift first, whisk into a smooth paste with a splash of water, then add the rest and whisk in a brisk "W" motion until frothy. Best enjoyed straight, no milk.
Sift first, whisk into a smooth paste with a splash of hot water, then top with steamed or frothed milk of choice.
Simmer in water 3–5 min, then add milk of choice and bring to a light rolling boil. Strain before serving.
Stir into hot milk for a creamier latte, or hot water for a lighter cup. Adjust to taste.
Keeping it fresh
Reseal after every use to maintain freshness.
