They measure cup for cup like sugar; except the Lakanto powdered monkfruit is a 2:1 ratio with sugar so you will only need to add half the amount of recommended sweetener. Stevia and allulose you may have to add in a little at a time to get your desired level of sweetness in this keto lemonade recipe.
