  2 tbsp granulated sugar
  Required swap

  Chef's tip

  Use the same amount and stir until it dissolves. Honey tastes a touch sweeter, so you can also use slightly less.
• 

  1 pinch salt
• 

  ¼ cup water
• 

  2 oz (about 2 shots) freshly brewed espresso

• 

  2 cups whole milk
  Required swap

  Chef's tip

  Use the same amount. Whole milk is richer, so a lower-fat milk will make the dish a little less creamy. This matters most in baking and custards, where the extra fat adds richness.
