Tips & common mistakes

It's a strong source of citric acid as well as sweetness and flavor -- a spoonful is often plenty, and scooping in more because it looks like a small amount of powder is an easy way to make something too sour or too sweet.

Storage

Its dye is potent enough to stain plastic containers, spoons, and lids with a lasting tint -- store it in glass, or set aside a container you don't mind discoloring.
