Notes
- Strain the kiwi puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds for a smoother, more elegant texture that enhances the drinking experience.
- Experiment with alternative sweeteners like agave nectar or stevia for a lower-calorie version that caters to health-conscious drinkers.
- Freeze extra kiwi puree in ice cube trays to create flavor-packed ice cubes that won’t dilute the drink’s intense taste when melting.
- For a sparkling variation, replace cold water with sparkling water or club soda to add a delightful effervescent twist to the lemonade.
