Hi Tessa,
570gms of product is what you should end up with
How much does this recipe make roughly?
Hi Hailey,
If you dont want to use the honey you can leave it out completely or can swap it for sodium lactate if you prefer.
I want to swap out the honey… what would you recommend?
A standard teaspoon holds about 5ml so half a teaspoon would be rougnly 2.5ml. You are looking for 1/2ml in 100ml to be half a percent. A pipette might be helpful to measure this out
