Lemonade is a great place to start
If you have never used , making lemonade is a great place to start. This will allow you to experiment with the amount of powder that suits your taste buds. You’ll find that Dehydrated Lemon Powder is highly concentrated so start with a small mix of 1/2 teaspoon lemon powder and 8 ounces of water. Add more powder and sugar to taste.
Can you substitute for fresh juice?
Yes! It is as easy as mixing 1 cup of water with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice powder. Some brands also call for adding 1/4 teaspoon of citric acid (vitamin C) to the mix. Citric acid doesn’t add flavour, it lowers the pH and gives extra tartness. You may find that the tartness of the Dehydrated Lemon Powder is enough.
