    Community Answer
    Absolutely! This is a good choice if you're trying to cut down on sugar. Just keep in mind that it may taste a little different and it may be thicker. Also, you may need to add more teaspoons of honey than teaspoons of sugar. For example, if you need 6 teaspoons of sugar, you may need 7-8 teaspoons of honey.
  • Question
    When squeezing lemons, how do I keep the juice from splashing all over?
    Butterfly
    Community Answer
    Use a tall, but wide-enough glass/cup (coffee mugs are generally a good choice). Take the lemon you're willing to squeeze— and make sure the lemon is held below the glass/cup and that you can still properly grip the lemon. Cover the glass/cup with your other hand, if needed, and squeeze the lemon normally. That should reduce the mess. You can also use a lemon squeezer, if you want - this helps to contain the mess.
