qs to taste, as much as you see fit Explanation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_satis Quantum satis (abbreviation q.s. or Q.S.) is a Latin term meaning the amount which is enough. It has its origins as a quantity specification in medicine and pharmacology,[citation needed] where a similar term quantum sufficit ("as much as is sufficient") has been used (abbreviated Q.S.).[1] Quantum satis is also used in the same function in food regulations and food safety laws in the European Community (EC/EU). The specification of quantum satis for an ingredient essentially means "Add as much of this ingredient as is needed to achieve the desired result, but not more." |
