    tablespoons, to an empty dry glass or container (round bottom).
  2. Measure 3 oz. of cold water into a glass or container and quickly pour into the dry container described above, and stir
    rigorously with a whisk or fork (keep distance of the water-containing glass high above the dry glass (which contains
