My personal preference deviates from the formal ritual in that I tend to set the spoon (try a fork and a small wine glass) with a sugar cube and an ice cube. Failing that, I take it on the rocks. Blaspheme, but I like it. The cold water should settle in the glass and turn the bottom portion a cloudy-milky opaque, but it will only do that if it is very cold, and you add it slowly. Traditionally, you should let the water devolve the sugar, and that not only mixes better, but forces you to do things slowly. Enjoy!
