Here's a simple preparation of gari:

gari with water
This does not really need a 'recipe', but here is how it is prepared.
Pour some gari into a cup or bowl.
Add enough water so that it covers the highest level of the gari for at least an inch or more.
The 'impurities' of the gari should float to the top of the water. Pour this out.
Repeat the rinse process until you are comfortable with it.
Add sugar, or milk, or ice cubes and eat the gari with a spoon.
