# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The electric blue color makes it an instant conversation starter at any party or gathering
  • Its naturally sweetened with maple syrup so you avoid that cloying artificial sweetness
  • You can make a whole pitcher in under ten minutes with almost zero effort
02 -
  • Spirulina clumps if you add it directly to cold liquid so always dissolve it separately first
  • The color will intensify over time so do not panic if it looks pale at first
  • Sparkling water half and half with regular water creates the most refreshing texture
03 -
  • Use a glass pitcher if possible because plastic can sometimes get slightly stained by the spirulina
  • If your lemons seem particularly tart, start with less juice and work your way up
