  • Turn off the machine and wait 1-2 minutes for the dust to settle. (Get ready to sneeze!)
  • Use a spatula to carefully remove the powder from the blender. There will be a large amount of powder stuck to the lid of the blender that you won’t want to miss.
  • Keep in a sealed container, in a cool dark place for up to 3 months for maximum flavour.
