Hot water is the secret. I mix a tablespoon in a quart jar, then pour that
into a gallon container, then fill the gallon up with cold water, which lowers
the temperature enough to be usable immediately without undissolving
the molasses. (I leave a little room in the gallon if I want to add something
with biological organisms to it, so I do not scald them to death up front.)
