Your Burning Questions Answered

Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! Just store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Give it a good stir before serving.

Fresh juice gives the best flavor, but bottled works in a pinch—just make sure it’s 100% juice with no added sugar.

Is there a good honey substitute?
Maple syrup or agave nectar work just as well!
