Ingredients
Laklata Kunun Tsamiya powder
Room temperature water
Boiling water
Sugar or sweetener, optional
Steps
1. Add your Laklata Kunun Tsamiya powder into a clean cup or bowl.
2. Add a little room temperature water and mix until it forms a smooth, slightly thick paste that still pours easily. This helps prevent lumps.
3. Slowly add boiling water while stirring continuously.
4. Keep stirring until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly thickened.
5. If it feels too thick, add more water until you get your preferred light, drinkable consistency.
6. Sweeten to taste if you like.
7. Enjoy it warm, or allow it to cool and serve with ice.
As a guide, 55g of Laklata Kunun Tsamiya powder can make about 700ml of drink, depending on how light or thick you like it.
Storage Tip
After opening, reseal your Laklata pouch properly and store it in a cool, dry place. Keep moisture away from the powder so it stays fresh for longer.
Final Note
Laklata Kunun Tsamiya gives you the familiar taste of traditional kunu with less stress and a cleaner process.
