how to break up maca clumps when mixing in water
« on: August 30, 2006, 06:23:52 PM »
Based on the Dr Wong interview that Art de Vany linked to, I decided to try maca out because... I'm a sucker.

Anway, anyone have any tips on how best mix a powder and water?  Maca tends to clump when I put it in water, so breaking up the clumps is a bit tedious.

Okay, I have no idea what Maca is, but are you using hot or cold water?
Changing the temp may reduce the clumping effect.
Growing old is inevitable,
Growing up is optional.

When I used to do protein shakes I would get clumps with a spoon

Bought a ten dollar hand blender and all my problems were solved

I'm late in replying to this but...
Any kind of fine powder mixes well if you place it in the bottom of a cup, stir in a little bit of whatever liquid you are mixing it into, making a thickish liquid/paste and then add the rest of the liquid on top and stir again well.  Suze
