Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Mit einem scharfen Messer und einem stabilen Schneidebrett geht die Zubereitung besonders schnell. Das vorsichtige Umrühren sorgt dafür, dass die Früchte ihr Aroma behalten und nicht zerdrückt werden.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Füge zusätzliche Früchte wie Papaya oder Kiwi hinzu, oder variiere das Schärfelevel durch mehr oder weniger Chili-Limetten-Gewürz. Agavendicksaft macht die Cups vegan, während Honig für eine klassische Süße sorgt.
