â Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1. What precautions should I take when blending warm liquids with the PC-2110?
The PC-2110 is compatible with warm liquids below 60°C. For liquids just off the boil, allow them to cool slightly before use, as the pressure inside the pitcher may increase. Also, use less than half of the pitcher's capacity and firmly hold down the lid before blending.
Q2. How much spice is appropriate?
Start with a small amount of spices and adjust to your preference. Ginger, chili, and cloves are particularly potent, so it's recommended to start with half the recipe amount. Turmeric can stain, so it's best to wash the PC-2110 pitcher immediately after blending.
Q3. Is it okay to drink spice milk every day?
Yes, you can drink it daily. However, the appropriate amount for turmeric is about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon per day, and for ginger, about 10 to 20g per day. Excessive intake may burden your digestive system. Pregnant individuals should avoid large amounts of cinnamon and cloves and consult a doctor.
Q4. Can I use plant-based milk instead of dairy milk?
Yes. Plant-based milks like soy milk, oat milk, almond milk, and rice milk can be used to make delicious drinks. Oat milk is especially creamy and pairs well with chai, while soy milk is ideal for golden milk. Plant-based milks tend to separate when boiled, so warm them to around 60°C or less.
Q5. Where can I buy the Happilaff PC-2110?
It is available on the Happilaff official online store. Free shipping nationwide in Japan.
