You can add hot or cold water and it is very tasty. When I was sick in January with this weird flu (which might have been A early version of COVID 19) it made me feel better. And as a hot toddy in the evening added with a little brandy Helped! Drop a spoonful in hot or cold water and enjoy.

Outside of Costco one can find it in an Asian market.
