I tried this & it was pretty easy & simple to make. To me it was too salty, so I would cut the salt down to 1 teaspoon if you are gonna try this. Also I added some sugar to it, about a teaspoon or so I didn't measure it. I will try this again, just won't add that much salt next time. Thanks for sharing.
