Tips & Substitutions

This recipe is a fun addition to a summer picnic or party and pairs beautifully with Cranberry Frozen Salad Or Dessert.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Divine Milk over ice to keep it chilled. It makes a refreshing drink on its own, but you can also pair it with light snacks like Lemon Oatmeal Crisps for a delightful contrast. This drink is perfect for brunch gatherings or as a fun treat for kids at parties.

Divine Milk is best served fresh, but if you have leftovers, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Be aware that the carbonation may decrease, so it's best to enjoy it soon after preparation. Stir gently before serving again to recombine the ingredients.
