 What is the secret to reduce this foam it gags me.  I just got my sample nectar and mixed it with bottled water and it foamed up so bad.

How did you mix it? If you shake it or put it in a blender, it's gonna be really foamy. If I remember correctly from before the OH people took away our bookmarks, when I posted a similar topic, people said stirring it with a spoon worked better. Let me see if I can find my original thread...

That was my thread... if you scroll through it, there's lots of input about getting the right consistency on the nectars. Apparently it's a bit of an art lol.

I shake mine in a blender bottle, then let it sit a couple minutes to separate the foam and liquid before I pour it into a glass of ice. Pour slowly and the foam will stay behind. Maybe try that?

The foam disappears after a few minutes.....at least mine did this morning.

I shake mine in a shaker bottle and once blended I add ice cubes and the foam disappears, but then it takes me quite a while to drink mine as well.  I take about 1/2 hr to drink it.  I just like to sip at it.

I know it's not recommended but I have to use a straw.

DO NOT shake the nectars. Simply pu****er or milk in a glass... then add nectar powder... then immediately stir with a spoon vigorously for a minute. It comes out with no foam. But yes, it's a bit of an art!!
