Recipe notes & preparation tips
Lemon or lime juice can be used instead of the acid crystals. This will make a cloudier finished product. Use about 4 ounces.
Garnish with cherries, pineapple, lemon, or lime slices.
Note that this product contains virtually no sugar. While 4 teaspoons are used in the concentrate, it is diluted so much that the amount of sugar in a glass is probably less than ¼ teaspoon.
While stevia is fairly expensive, it goes a long way. Use only pure stevia.
