What Does It Taste Like?
Expect a sour, lemony tang, a little like a sherbet sweet without the sugar. It is a single-ingredient powder, so the flavour is straightforward and it pairs well with sweet or fruity drinks.
How Much Should I Use?
A little goes a long way. A common serving is 1/4 to 1/2 of a level teaspoon, stirred into a drink. Always follow the directions on the pouch, and if you are new to the powder, start with the smaller amount and see how you like the taste.
- Use a clean, dry, level measure.
- Add the powder to the liquid and stir until fully dissolved.
- Do not store mixed drinks for long. Make them fresh.
Three Easy Ways to Mix It
1. Orange Juice
The simplest option. Stir your serving into a glass of cold orange juice. The sweetness of the juice rounds off the tang.
2. Berry Smoothie
Add the powder to the blender with strawberries, raspberries or blueberries, a banana and your choice of milk or juice. Their natural tartness blends in well.
3. Homemade Lemonade
Stir your serving into a tall glass of cold water, squeeze in half a fresh lemon and add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup if you like it sweeter. Serve over ice.
Other Kitchen Ideas
- Stir into sparkling water with a slice of lime for a sharp, fizzy drink.
- Mix into a fruit salad dressing with a little olive oil and honey.
- Use a pinch in homemade sherbet-style sweets or sorbet mixes.
