NON-SPARKLING OPTION
You can replace the 2 cups sparkling water with 2 cups water if you’d like, but we personally love the fizz!
REFINED SUGAR-FREE OPTION
Replace the cane sugar with agave syrup or maple syrup. Ingredients will still need to be heated to dissolve the camu camu powder and create an even syrup consistency.
