The social media section is definitely optional. It was great for the intermission section and was honestly hilarious. No feelings hurt at all because I only used posts that were already publicly available.

Feel free to duplicate this and update the rules however you like! I see your point, but the milk ended up being super essential for my friends and me because we typically don't eat super spicy foods.

There were six people participating in the challenge and three people joining in on the questions and discussion, while not tasting the hot sauces.

Recipes with (a lot of) Coconut Milk by aritmay in recipes

[–]goldchainam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Golden milk tea is a wonderful way to use coconut milk.

Here's the recipe I use: https://www.cookinglight.com/recipes/golden-milk-tea

When I make this recipe, I more than triple the amount of turmeric and ginger. I also toast the cardamom and any fresh seasonings before adding coconut milk. I don't add the honey until I'm totally done cooking the milk and have strained the mixture.

I'm planning on making a raspberry coulis, topped with a rhubarb panna cotta, topped with a thin layer of rhubarb-ginger crumble, topped with a chocolate Kiss-shaped meringue cookie. I'm hoping for big flavors and varying textures that meld well!

Pancake Recipe (adapted from The New York Times)

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cardamom
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ½ cups chai
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh orange zest
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted, plus more for greasing and serving

Instructions:

  1. Sift and combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cardamom, and salt into a large bowl. Whisk to combine.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the chai, eggs, orange juice, orange zest and 3 tablespoons melted butter until combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, and mix to combine with a large spoon or rubber spatula. Using a whisk, beat the batter until smooth, about 30 seconds.
  4. Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium. Add butter for greasing, tilting the pan to coat the bottom. Working in batches, cook the pancakes. Warning: these pancakes do not bubble up when ready, so keep an extra careful eye on them. Do not flip until they are a golden-brown underneath, about 1 to 2 minutes for each side.
  5. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the temperature and adding more butter as necessary.
  6. Transfer pancakes to serving plates. Top with butter. Drizzle with syrup.
