I use a top blender and blend with ice for about 10 seconds. I've not yet noticed any graininess in the drink due to the amount of liquid already there. But, that would probably change if one used more that 1/4 tsp of the powder. Anyway. . . after two or three who cares! Now, if you want to rough it up a bit . . . add 1/2 to 3/4 oz of 151 Demerara (I use El Dorado) to the mix. You should be able to find five spice powder in your local supermarket in the "Ethnic" section. I bet you feel more like you do now now than you did when you came in.
