Frequently Asked Questions

How do I store the dry fruit powder for 6 months?

Keep it in a clean, dry, airtight container in a cool, dark place and always use a dry spoon. Moisture is what spoils it.

How much powder should I use per glass?

About 1½ tbsp of powder for 500 ml of milk. Mix it with a little water into a smooth paste first so it doesn't form lumps in the hot milk.
