Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar?

Use apple cider vinegar (preserves more of the probiotics) or mild vinegars such as white wine or rice vinegar (but can affect probiotics and flavor profile).

How Can This Drink Be Made Keto?

Sweeten the recipe by choosing a zero-calorie sweetener such as erythritol or stevia and choose low-carb juices like lemon, lime among others that will give more of an effect for the same amount of sweetness.

How can I fizzy it up?

Using very cold sparkling water will make your drink fizzier and mixing lightly will give you a lighter, bubbler beverage; you can also add more sparkling water if desired.

How do I fix the taste if my drink is too tart?

If you are using a sour drink, then start with sweetener and/or a fruit juice of your choice while tasting as you go until it is at your desired sweetness. If need be, adjust vinegar proportions or use a less acidic variety.
