Tips & Substitutions
For a vibrant flavor, try using different jello flavors to match the occasion. If you're looking for a lower sugar option, substitute the sugar with a sugar alternative like Stevia or monk fruit sweetener. You can also add fresh fruits like sliced strawberries or oranges for a refreshing twist. Make sure to leave enough room in the jug for expansion during freezing, as this will prevent the jug from breaking.
