If you must use this concentrate, taste it (all varities differin flavor) if it is very tangy like a lemon, use the same amount the recipe calls for. Make sure to make note of the amount you use so you can tweek it next time to more or less. Trial and error is the best learning tool, so when trying ANY new recipe, make good notes so you know what to change next time. Personally i've never used the concentrated mix in any recipe so i can't give you exact measurements. Good luck and please post the results so evreyone can see how it turned out.........Jimmy    Report
