- "Чай без лимону"

Yes, the correct form is лимона.
I guess not only do the creators of these exercises not know English well, they also don't speak Ukrainian very well xD And apart from that, they are overly confident about their knowledge because they somehow didn't doubt it, didn't have a second thought "Hmmmm.... Is it лимону? I should probably check". Because if they did, they would have seen the correct form on any website they would've clicked on...
The correct version is, of course, accepted :')
I, too, expected the answer to be лимона, and, in fact, that's what Google translate uses. Why does Duolingo give the answer as лимону? Does the rule say to use the genitive case with "без," and then it's a philosophical question if the masculine лимон is countable/concrete to take the -а ending versus material/substance/abstract to take the -у ending?
