It really is gonna depend on your ginger, but I'm glad you asked that 'cause spices really make a difference. I've had, I wanna show you these cookies. These are speaking of ginger. These are molasses cookies that are made with a lot of spice. And my friend Joy Manning, who is a, she is the editor of Edible Philly and a well respected recipe developer, brought these cookies over. They're irresistible and they're very highly spice. And as we do, those of us who are developing recipes, and I would suggest you all do the same thing, you get a notebook and you make notes. And she said the recipe was tested with burlap and barrel spices. Um, if you go looking through the live events library, you're gonna see that Ori Zohar, who is the co-founder and CO CEO of Burlap and Barrel, did a live event. Um, and not all spices are the same. So this is a really delicious, really strong powder. Um, and not all fresh ginger. I happen to love ginger and I love fresh ginger too, but I get some sometimes that is not very potent. So I can't say this much powder, this much fresh. It depends on your ginger, fresh ginger, it depends on your powder. Sometimes I do both. But again, you wanna add cautiously because you can always add more. Not so easy to fix. I mean, sometimes I've made, I've made something gingery that was too strong. So just consider your, consider what you do about that.
