What To Avoid While Making this Recipe?

- Avoid substituting the almond milk with a thinner milk alternative, as it may affect the texture of the custard.
- Avoid skipping the turmeric, as it helps give the custard a traditional yellow color.
- Avoid using imitation vanilla extract, as it may not provide the same depth of flavor.
