Frequently Asked Questions

Non-dairy options can be tricky, but you could try a powdered coconut or soy milk substitute. Keep in mind that the flavor and texture may vary slightly, so adjust sugar and water ratios to achieve the desired sweetness and thickness.

To reduce sugar, consider using a sugar substitute like stevia or monk fruit sweetener. Start with half the amount of sugar and adjust to taste, keeping in mind that the sweetness may not be as rich as traditional sugar.
Can I make this recipe vegan?
Yes, you can make a vegan version by using coconut oil instead of margarine and ensuring the sugar is vegan-friendly. You can also substitute the hot water with nut milk for added flavor.
