Troubleshooting
Powder is clumping.
Ensure the container is tightly sealed after each use and stored in a dry environment. If clumping occurs, break up the clumps with a clean utensil before use.

Add the powder to the liquid first and stir vigorously. Using a shaker bottle can also help ensure a smooth mixture.
