FAQs
Can I use regular sugar instead of sweetener?
Yes, you can substitute regular granulated sugar, but the mix will no longer be sugar free. Adjust the quantity to taste.
Is it okay to skip the powdered creamer?
Absolutely. Skipping the powdered creamer creates a non-dairy, lighter mix. You can add milk or cream when preparing your drink instead.
