Can You Make It Ahead?

Leftovers should be kept in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoyed within 5 days.

Variations and Substitutions

Change the flavor by subbing orange juice and zest for the lemon. You can use frozen blueberries but if you do this they must be completely thawed and drained on paper towels first.
