I bought a blender from Sainsbury's today!! Well, actually, two! One for home and one for work, I had the very same problem this morning!! Blenders only £10 each!
I used to mix the powder with a little cold water, then top up with cold water and microwave it. I also added a spoonful of marigold bouillon to some of them to make them a bit tastier and a bit bigger.
I mix with a bit of cold water then gradually add boiling water. If at home I just use boiling water and my hand blender. My mum got one from Morrisons that was only £5 and it's better than mine which was £10!!!
