The usual preparation consists in combining kuzu powder with water and sugar, and cooking it over a gentle heat, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens and becomes transparent. This process also imparts an elastic texture to the kuzu. The transparent appearance of the final product contributes to a cool sensation, making it a popular choice for consumption during warmer months.
