She tasted this one on the back of buttermilk, so we were already set up for success here. That said, her wide eyed expression had a smile this time, and she said, “this is GOOD! It’s sweet but still reminds me of Cheetos!” We didn’t note any Cheeto flavor, but that’s cool. Either way, she threw TWO THUMBS UP!! at us before she ran back to teleclass while shouting at us to make a new batch for her.You will receive 1 TEASPOON of dried cultures.
