Notes

Measurements

I don't usually use cups, it's really not British, but in this instance it is the most practical. After you have made it a couple of times you won't bother with measurements, just do it by eye which is much quicker.

Salt?

This has so much flavour I don't need salt but it is quite normal to include a pinch. I like to use Sunshine salt, https://www.salesatdrmyhill.co.uk/sunshine-salt-300-g-392-p.asp which is very rich in minerals and vitamin D so adds to the health benefits.
