Q: Can I prepare this juice ahead of time?
A: Best served fresh. If storing, refrigerate in an airtight jar and consume within 24 hours.
Q: Can I skip lemon juice?
A: Yes, but lemon balances the sweetness and enhances the overall flavor. It also helps preserve the juice color.

A: Absolutely! It’s naturally sweet and packed with nutrients. Just avoid added honey for children under 1 year.
