Preparation

Step 1

After you have found out what you enjoy you'll be ready to make your mix in greater quantities. Double the amounts to make two packets, use 3 times the amount for three packets and so on. After making the mix up divide it into the appropriate number of batches and put them into individual packages. You might use foil, paper and tape, or small plastic baggies to make your packaging.
