Can I adjust the sweetness in this Electric Lemonade?

Yes, the recipe suggests starting with 1/4 cup of coconut nectar and some stevia, then adjusting to your preferred taste.

Why is black pepper included in this lemonade?

A pinch of black pepper is added to enhance the absorption of curcumin from the turmeric, maximizing its benefits.

How should I store leftover Electric Lemonade?

Store the strained lemonade with basil in a BPA-free or glass container in the fridge to keep it chilled and fresh.

Do I need to remove all the pith from the lemons?

No, the recipe specifically states you can include the white pith, as it contains vitamin C and contributes to the 'electric' quality.
