Notes

*I found squeezing 1/2 of a lemon was too much, but 1/4 of a lemon was too little for my taste buds. This is totally dependent on how much lemon juice YOU like, so start with a little and keep tasting and adding until you have the flavor you want!
**If vegan, use maple syrup or agave for sweetener.
