Microwave
The next step is to microwave this mixture. Make sure that you do it for three minutes at half of regular microwave power. After every minute, stop the microwave and take the mixture out to stir it. Make sure that the mixture does not boil at any time during the process. If the mixture is showing signs of getting too thick even while it is hot, add half a cup more of water so that the mixture gets thin. It will thicken further when it cools down. -

Add Essentials
