How to prepare it

Four simple steps — with the consistency set by a professional.

  1. Clear glass of orange juice on a light kitchen counter

    Prepare the liquid

    Measure the desired amount, for example 300 ml.

  2. Level white measuring scoop with powder next to a glass of orange juice
    2

    Measure the powder

    1 scoop = 8 g per 300 ml for a nectar-like consistency.

  3. Hands holding a glass of juice and stirring with a metal spoon

    Sprinkle in while stirring

    Add the powder gradually. A blender on a low setting also works.
