I dont understand what I need for half andhalf . I coped and pasted below and read form the web site and I still dont get it. Do I mix one cup of milk and one cup of cream! Or do I buy butter milk and double whipped cream! Im so confused lol. Thank you inadvance for any help:~)

2 cups (480 ml) half-and-half cream (a mixture of cream and whole milk that contains 10 - 12% butterfat)

Half & Half is about 12% butterfat.To get that with NZ cream (38%) and NZ whole milk (4%) mix three parts of whole milk with one part of cream.I.e. 360 ml whole milk and 120 ml cream.

Blue top will be okay if it's all you have.Silver top would be better though.

Full cream milk is preferred.
