In the ingredients it says, boiled and cooled – 1/3 cup. Is this only for milk? what about the coconut milk?
Only the milk should be boiled n cooked. Thanks for noticing it
Thanks for your prompt response. If we take 1/3 cup of milk, what is the measurement for coconut milk? You didn’t mention anything about coconut milk under ingredients.
1 cup of Coconut milk
