How do I prepare the kissel powder correctly? — WILD BERRY KISSELLI POWDER 150G ( lesnaja jagoda )

This is an instant kissel, so you prepare it quickly, but the exact ratio of powder to water is printed on the package. In general, you add the powder to a cup, pour boiling water over it, and stir constantly. The potato starch swells and thickens the drink within a few minutes. To avoid lumps, sprinkle the powder into the water while stirring rather than adding it all at once. If you prefer a thinner drink, add more water; for a thicker, more pudding-like texture, use less water or let it cool, as it thickens further as it cools.

You can serve it hot or warm, and it also works as a cold drink if you chill it after preparation. If you make a larger batch, store it in the fridge and reheat gently, but avoid boiling it again after it has thickened, as that can break down the starch and make the texture watery. Keep the dry powder in a sealed container in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture from clumping it.
