Frequently asked questions

. Can I use bottled lemon juice instead of fresh lemons?

While fresh lemon juice is recommended for the best flavor, you can use bottled lemon juice if that's what you have on hand. Just make sure it is 100% pure lemon juice without any added sugars or flavors.

. 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?

Definitely! If you prefer a non-dairy option, feel free to use almond milk, coconut milk, or any other non-dairy milk of your choice. The creamy texture may differ slightly, but the flavor will still be delightful.
