Will this work well with full cream coconut milk?
I am working on a paleo version of this, will post it as soon as I’m done it!
please tell me what to replace lemond juice or zest of orange or any citrus, I am itolerent of citrus. thank you.
Taste the mixture at the point where you would add the lemon juice. If it tastes fine, then omit it completely. If you feel its too sweet and needs a bit of an acid to balance the sweetness, add in 1/2 tsp cider vinegar.
