Method
- Blend everything until smooth and creamy.
- Serve cold.
What we changed and why
- Gums like gellan are often fermented on corn sugar.
- Many vanilla extracts use corn-based alcohol. Look for one made with cane alcohol, or use vanilla bean powder.
- Iodized table salt usually contains corn-derived dextrose. Sea salt does not.
Items marked "check" need a quick label read: corn hides in starches, dextrose, and vinegar.
