Questions

Can I make Papaya Milk dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 1/2 cup evaporated milk (or heavy cream), 2 tbsp sugar (or sweetened condensed milk), 1 cup whole milk or water. Swap the evaporated milk (or heavy cream) for a plant-based version of the same product; the sugar (or sweetened condensed milk) for a plant-based version of the same product; the milk for unsweetened oat or soy milk. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Can I halve or double Papaya Milk?

Yes. As written it serves 2. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. To make a pitcher, multiply everything and stir over ice at the end.
