Tips:
- To make a smooth and lump-free sauce, whisk the cornstarch and sugar together in a small bowl before adding it to the boiling water.
- If you don't have any fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice. Just be sure to use a good quality juice that doesn't have any added sugar or preservatives.
- For a richer sauce, you can use heavy cream or half-and-half instead of milk.
- If you want a thicker sauce, you can add more cornstarch. Just be sure to whisk it into the sauce until it's completely dissolved before bringing it to a boil.
- To make a sugar-free sauce, you can use a sugar substitute like stevia or erythritol. Just be sure to taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness to your liking.
