What quantity of mint would you need to make 5 times as much as the original recipe?
Herb's Herb Butter
INGREDIENTS:
6 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon chives
1/2 teaspoon of parsley
2/3 teaspoon sage
5/8 teaspoon mint
1 teaspoon lemon juice
To make 5 times as much of the original recipe, you would need to multiply each ingredient by 5.
For the mint, you would need:
5/8 teaspoon (original amount) x 5 = 5/8 x 5 = 25/8 = 3 1/8 teaspoons of mint.
Therefore, you would need 3 1/8 teaspoons of mint to make 5 times as much of the original recipe.
