Where the name comes from is not entirely clear
If you like it sweeter, you can remove the zest from the lime before blending and add some sugar or another sweetener like maple syrup or agave syrup. After preparation, the lemonade should be consumed quickly, otherwise the drink will become bitter. For an even fresher note, we recommend adding a few leaves of mint. And if you want to experiment with different tastes, you can pimp the basic recipe with fruits like mango or strawberries.
By the way, “Limonada Suica” means “Swiss lemonade”. Where the name comes from is not entirely clear. It is assumed, among other things, that the name is related to the imported Swiss condensed milk.
