Achte darauf, Honig durch Ahornsirup oder einfachen Sirup zu ersetzen, wenn du eine vegane Variante bevorzugst. Für eine würzige Note kann ein Spritzer Ingwersaft hinzugefügt werden. Die Basis aus Gurke, Minze und Zitrone lässt sich gut vorbereiten und kurz vor dem Servieren mit sprudelndem Wasser vermischen.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Diese erfrischende Limonade lässt sich leicht anpassen. Experimentiere mit der Süße, indem du mehr oder weniger Honig oder Agavensirup verwendest. Wer mag, kann zusätzlich Kräuter wie Basilikum probieren oder eine Prise Ingwer hinzufügen. Achte bei der Wahl des Süßungsmittels auf deine Ernährungsbedürfnisse und eventuelle Allergien.
