You chill, warm, or flavor up to 1 cubic foot of nonliving material for 1 hour.
-If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.
Am l correct in assuming that those 3 non-instantaneous effects can be from the same ability, for example, makeing room temperature water taste like Cold Apple Juice, using the above ability? I ask because it doesn't specify "Separate" or "Different" effects must be used, just that there is a maximum of 3, and there are only 3 non instate effects, which are unlikely to be used all at the same time.
Spell never specifies that it must be three different effects; I regularly use prestidigitation to ruin the drinks/food of NPCs I don't like, and you really need those multiple uses to make the most of it or get several at once. 😉
I've also argued for things like using prestidigitation to cool/warm my character's clothing in hot/cold environments, and you usually need more than one cubic foot to do that (depends on the thickness of the material and size of your character I guess); not for any mechanical benefit mind you, I figure you still need cold/hot weather specific gear if the environment is going to kill you otherwise, but purely so my character can be comfortable while everyone else isn't. It's a major contender for my favourite spell in the game. 😄
Former D&D Beyond Customer of six years: With the axing of piecemeal purchasing, lack of meaningful development, and toxic moderation the site isn't worth paying for anymore. I remain a free user only until my groups are done migrating from DDB, and if necessary D&D, after which I'm done. There are better systems owned by better companies out there.

Each casting of Prestidigitation requires one action; while it may not seem like a long time, it will take 18 seconds to cast the spell three times to get your desired effect. If you have the time, no problem, but if you are trying to do something instantaneously to a person or object, you are restricted. Of course, a DM may handwave this for the rule of cool.

I have my characters warm/cool their clothing and bedding all the time if it’s appropriate. It’s fun.

I would say Yes.

Agreed, It's a must have for any spell caster.
