Frequently asked questions

. Can I substitute the sugar with a sugar substitute?

Absolutely! If you prefer to use a sugar substitute like stevia or erythritol, you can do so. Just keep in mind that the sweetness level may vary, so adjust accordingly to your taste.

. Can I use non-dairy alternatives like almond milk or coconut milk?
