things people ask

• When would a recipe call for teaspoons of coconut milk?
  Most often in spice pastes, marinades, and finishing drizzles. A Thai-style curry paste might call for a teaspoon or two to bloom the spices into a workable paste before the rest of the can goes in. Some cocktails — piña coladas scaled down for one glass, for instance — use 1-2 teaspoons as an aroma rather than a base. Dairy-free buttercreams sometimes need a teaspoon at a time to reach piping consistency.
• How many teaspoons are in a tablespoon of coconut milk?
  Three, by definition — so 3 teaspoons equals one tablespoon, or about 15 g. If a recipe lists 4 teaspoons, that's 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon, or roughly 20 g. The math is the same as for any liquid, but coconut milk's tendency to separate means you should re-stir the bowl or can between teaspoon scoops if you want each one to weigh the same.
• Will a teaspoon of coconut milk curdle in hot coffee or tea?
  It can, especially if the drink is acidic (lemon tea) or very hot and the coconut milk is cold from the fridge. To avoid curdling, warm the teaspoon of coconut milk briefly — set the spoon on top of the hot drink for a few seconds — before stirring it in. Canned full-fat is more stable than carton coconut milk because the higher fat content buffers the proteins against acid shock.
