You need to get a device called a 'water rehydrator'. It essentially rehydrates powdered water. They are pretty expensive though...

If you found it in the loft I would check the use by date as it might have gone off. Otherwise just add some moisturiser which does this by imparting or restoring normal levels of hydration.
Good luck

P.S this site says:
History
This substance has been attributed to Francian Alchemists about 300 years ago. Since then, the substance has spread throughtout Ærth, and is welcomed by wealthy traders (since the cost of this item is relatively great) who must journey in arid lands such as the Berber lands and the Babylonian/Ægyptian part of the world, and dry Stepps, especially patrols and armies.
Description
This substance is a blue powder, and it it kept in hermetically sealed pouches (also created by alchemists.) It is usually found in individual packets, about the size of Earth's condiments. There will usually be 6D6 packets of the substance when found randomly. Sometimes, it may also be contained in Sealed bags weighing several pounds (for large basins/pools, etc.)
Powers
Powdered water is an alchemical creation--water modified to be a powdery solid. When a pouch is opened and exposed to air, within 1 BT's time, the contencts of 1 packet (4 ounces) will turn into 1 quart of normal water. As such, these devices are normally used to refill canteens and generally allow vast quantites of water to be moved.
Note that a potential drinker does not need a container to drink this...if he puts the powder in his mouth, the transformation will be slow enough for him to swallow most (or all) of the substance. It won't then, choke a person, or burst his stomach if a lot is swallowed. (The stomach acid will neutralize the excess powder.)

Depends how long it's been there. Some powdered water goes off after a while and if you add water (which is what i'd normally advise) then you might end up with jam (that'd be jelly in the US) instead. Scientists can't yet explain this but there you are - it just happens.
Strawberry jam if I remember right.

Need to add another product / chemical but not sure what it's called. They use this for space missions etc. To save time why not just throw it away and get some water the regular way?

Doesn't it tell you on the box?
If this isn't a stupid time-wasting joke, have you misread the label? Does it say Water Glass? If so, it's an old-fashioned egg-preserving chemical, but you don't need it today as you have a fridge.

Leave it outside in the rain. Isn't Yahoo Answers just the best thing since Google Earth and the best worst time-waster too?

You need one of those pyramid type thingies that sharpen old razor blades, then you need to wait for the next Blue moon, then sacrifice you first born child and voila a cup of reconstituted water for you to enjoy.

You really should not use this product, it is dangerous.
When you tip the contents out of the box there will be nothing left behind and nothing in the box is highly explosive. You could destroy your house.
