Hot drinks

A hot drink will reach desired thickness after about 30 seconds of stirring. For safety reasons, allow the thickened hot drink to cool down slightly before serving. A drink thickened with ThickenUp Clear may be heated in the microwave.

Carbonated beverages

For optimal results, stir carbonated drink to reduce the amount of carbonation. Pour the powder into a clean, dry cup, add carbonated drink on the powder and start stirring immediately for 20-30s until powder is well dissolved.

Milk

After adding ThickenUp clear, it may take up to 15 minutes to reach required thickness.
